The European architecture of protection on fundamental rights presents the feature of pluralism. The two transnational courts—Court of Justice European Union(CJEU) and European Court of Human Rights(ECtHR)—have the competence of adjudicating human rights cases respectively in coincidence with EU law and European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). Though the two jurisdictions are independent, while ECtHR and CJEU cherish their autonomy on the interpretation of fundamental rights exclusively, there are interactive influences between the EU law and ECHR within development of the both legal system. In the legislative field, the fundamental rights embodied by the ECHR are recognized as general principles of Community law in the Maastricht Treaty. Then European Charter of Fundamental Rights almost transplant all the fundamental rights from the ECHR. In the field of adjudication, CJEU applied the Convention provisions as normative legal sources in the Rutili judgment as early as 1975, while since the judgment of Pv.S, the ECtHR caselaw are usually referred as the necessary authoritative parameters whenever CJEU interprets the Convention. Even in the Post Lisbon era when the EU Charter came into effect, EU judges would have to take the ECtHR jurisprudence into account whenever interpret EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, ensuring the harmonization of meaning and scope of fundamental rights in the European multilevel system. EU legal system vice versa gives a strongly impact on the development of ECtHR jurisprudence. In order to bring the legitimacy of ECtHR decision and maintain the harmonization of European pluralism legal order, CJEU jurisprudence and EU directive are often borrowed acting as the source of law, as well as the provision or the institution embodied by the EU Charter on Fundamental Rights is cited as the important relevant source in its judgment. Despite the fact that the opinion 2/13 suspends the EU accession to the ECHR, the two transnational courts have the awareness that the maintenance of the harmonization of plural European legal order in fundamental rights serves the common interests.
