Implementation of the international law

This further leads to the issue of implementation of the international law. There are certain ways through which the international law can become a part of domestic law: the government can identify an existing law that is in compliance with the international obligations of that country, amend the existing laws or enact new legislation in order to comply with the international law provisions. For example, judgement of SCMR 2002 1694 stated that if the provisions of a treaty are not incorporated through the legislation, then such provisions will have no effect and the treaty rights would not be enforced. Treaty is a specific commitment in which the state partially surrenders its sovereignty. If the international law concerns a new issue on which there is no legislation then the government has to make new laws covering that specific issue, or if existing law is there regarding it then it should be amended in order to bring it in accordance with the international laws. For example, Warsaw convention on carriage of goods by air has been ratified by Pakistan, and Pakistan passed a small legislation and incorporated it into the domestic law.
