International law are laws that have been developed at an international level in the legal system to regulate relationships between and to regulate conduct of countries, such as international treaties and conventions. For Australia to agree to an international law, they must sign a treaty an then ratify the treaty. In Australia, by ratifying a treaty, Australia is agreeing to make laws in the country. When Australia has ratified a treaty, but has not passed laws that reflect the treaty, the treaty could have an effect on the way courts in Australia interpret laws.
THE UN SYSTEM
The UN is not an independent organization, as it is made up of sovereign states. In matters of peace-keeping and international politics, it requires a slow process of consensus building which has to be taken into account for national sovereignty and global needs.
