Europe has learned through wars and civil wars that a common future can exist only as a community organized by law. The present contribution sketches Europe’s historical roots in the legal history of the “ius commune” and “ius canonicum”, but mostly of “the “ius commune publicum”, consisting of natural law and international law, fundamental rights and the constitution as a central idea of modernity.
