The Ambiguity of the Principle of the Hierarchy of Legal Norms in Relation to International Law

The relationship between the state's internal law and international law in general and international human rights law in particular was raised with regard to the issue of duality or unity of the legal system, as the relations between internal law and international law are characterized by overlap, and in general, international law has superiority and priority over the internal legal system because it regulates relations between states with the same Sovereignty on the one hand, and on the other hand, it aims to protect basic human rights and public freedoms. The only problem remains in application. Most countries work to implement their internal laws without international law, and stipulate this in their constitutions and laws. On the other hand, other countries work to establish their sovereignty. Whether its internal law approves this or not, preferring it to the application of international law. Introducing a treaty into the internal legal system of a state means enabling it to become a binding law for all agencies of that state, and this is what establishes the status of international treaties and their arrangement in the hierarchy of legal rules.
