Legal positivism and the principle of legal certainty are nowadays under attack, especially in the contemporary constitutional review scenario where the pervasive use of the balancing test has taken the place of other traditional interpretation methods. Acknowledging this danger, the European Court of Human Rights has used the opportunity represented by the vexed question of “norms of authentic interpretation” to affirm a different principle in the context of retroactive legal statutes.
