Which one is superior, international law or national law?
International law is nothing more than a treaty between independent, sovereign nations. As such, it is not “law” in the sense you probably mean.Each nation as sovereign can withdraw from any treaty they wish.The nations own laws, however, are a different matter.A government is restrained by its own laws, as they cannot be changed except by getting the Legislature to pass a new law over-riding the old law.As such, a Nation’s laws are superior within that Nation’s borders. Outside of that nation’s border, you could say International law is more powerful. Providing all the member nations agree to enforce it.
What is the role of international law?
International law is the body of treaties and conventions that regulate the relationships between nations. For example, the various international treaties and conventions on child custody establish rules as to which countries courts will have jurisdiction when parents from two different nations fight over custody of their children, and establish that the courts in one signatory nation will recognize the rulings of courts in other signatory nations. Without such treaties, if - for example - a mother in the US was awarded custody of her daughter and the Canadian father disliked that order, he could abduct the child to Canada and seek a Canadian custody order. This is exactly what happens in cases where one parent is from a non-signatory nation, such as most Muslim countries. Richard
How can international law be used as a tool for conflict resolution?
The same way that Federal law is used as a tool for interstate conflict resolution. Remember that the original 13 colonies were 13 nations at first, and they agreed to give the federal government the authority to handle international disputes. Same with the EU. The member nations must agree and then keep up their end of the bargain to work with the other nations for conflict resolution, even if they disagree with the timetable or the methods. It's all about working as a community. Peace!
How does international law protect human rights?
International law only protects you if the country is a signatory and ratified the agreement to be held liable in the International Court of Justice of the United Nations.The United States has consistently refused to sign and ratify that agreement. Even thought the UN was their idea. The USA knows that they cannot control that court and they know that several cops would be sent to jail if they ever ratified the agreement.So all the UN can do is to send a letter to the offending country.It is hard and trickery to get the UN to even consider a citizen's complaint against america.America talks of human rights and justice all the time and boasts of their honor in being the best supporter of human rights, yet they consistently abuse the very people most in need of their help.
