==Superiority of international treaty law==
The [[ICCPR]] is a multilateral international treaty and is a part of international law. Treaties are superior law to ordinary domestic law, because they contain various commitments made by each state-party. When there is a conflict between domestic law and international treaty law, the treaty law is supreme while the domestic law which is in conflict is without force or effect, or in other words, is nullified.<ref>[{{REFdocument |url=https://legal.un.org/ilc/texts/instruments/english/conventions/1_1_1969.pdf |title=Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties] (1969), : Article 27. |date=1969 |chapter= |format=PDF |accessdate=2022-04-12}}</ref> Most nations are a state-party to the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties.
