Abstract:
In the United Kingdom, the courts can only apply directly
international treaties when when they are transformed into domestic law. In
practice, the United Kingdom has five forms of transforming international law
into domestic law: 1. Statutory law which does not mention treaties; 2. Statutory
law which mentions some provisions of treaties; 3. Statutory law being enacted
separately and having mentioned treaties in it; 4. Statutory law being enacted
separately relays the treaty and attaches the treaty as an annex; 5. Statutory law
clearly gives legal effect to international treaties. When applying international
treaties, the British courts distinguish between EU law and other international
treaties, and pay more attention to the interpretation method of the treaty itself.
在英国,国际条约在转化为国内法的情况下,法院才能直接适用。实践中,英国
将国际法转化为国内法有5 种形式:(1)成文法不提及条约;(2)成文法中
提及条约的部分条款;(3)单独制定成文法并在其中提及条约;(4)单独制
定成文法转述条约,并将条约作为附件;(5)成文法明确赋予法律效力。英国
法院在适用国际条约时,将欧盟法和其他国际条约区分对待,并更加注重条约
本身的解释方法。
