INTRODUCTION

International law is the set of rules generally regarded and accepted as binding in relations
between states and nations. It differs from national legal systems in that it only concerns nations
rather than private citizens. National law may become international law when treaties delegate
national jurisdiction to supranational tribunals such as the European Court of Human Rights
or the International Criminal Court. Treaties such as the Geneva Conventions may require
national law to conform.
International law is basically a system of law applicable to states and relations between states,
with its rules, whether customary or conventional, relating to allor most of the more than 150
members of the community of nations. Inasmuch as that community lacks a central authority,
the rules of international law can be“put into effect,” that is, can be applied and enforced, only
through the governments of the individual states—members of the community. Each of the
latter, however, possesses its own constitution (or its equivalent) and its own distinct domestic
system of executive, legislative, and judicial powers.
It is therefore necessary to analyse the relationship between international law and the domestic
(municipal) legal systems of states. This means a threefold investigation of relations between
customary international law and municipal law, of treaty-law or conventional international law,
and of conflicts arising between provisions of international law and the constitutions and organs
(bothfunction and authority) of domestic governments.
