The Constitutional Court of the Republic of Albania (Albanian: Gjykata Kushtetuese e Republikës së Shqipërisë) is the highest authority in Albania's legal system that defends and assures the respect of the Constitution of Albania.[2]

The judges of the Constitutional Court, also known as members, deal with the following common cases: the compatibility of an international agreement that has not yet been ratified with the mandates of the Constitution;[3] the compliance of a law passed by either a local, a regional or the central level of government in Albania with the Constitution;[3][4][5] a dispute pertaining to a violation or violations of a constitutional right or constitutional rights of an Albanian citizen or citizens.[3][5][6]

In the first two decades of its operation, the Constitutional Court has encountered several criticisms.[7] Some of the criticism directed at the Constitutional Court has concerned the process in which the judges of the said court are appointed and elected, and the decisions made by the aforementioned court on the Parliament of Albania's revision of provisions.[7][8][9][10][11]
