Supremacy of treaties

The supremacy of treaties means that when countries agree to a treaty, they commit to follow its rules, and those rules take precedence over conflicting domestic laws. Essentially, treaties become a higher authority, guiding how countries behave and ensuring consistency across nations. This principle helps maintain international order by ensuring promises made between countries are honored and effectively implemented. However, governments can sometimes challenge treaties if they conflict with their national constitution or laws, but generally, treaties hold significant legal weight and influence international relations.
