@AndiWard International law doesn't automatically "supersede" national laws; it typically applies when countries choose to ratify treaties. However, universal human rights norms, such as those in the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights, establish baseline obligations that many nations voluntarily accept to protect fundamental rights.
While I get your frustration, breaking international law and ignoring human rights isn’t a viable solution. International law, such as the Refugee Convention, doesn’t just override national laws; it sets crucial protections for those fleeing danger. Human rights apply to everyone, including migrants, and violating these principles can have severe consequences. Rather than focusing on punitive measures like mass deportations, we should seek comprehensive immigration reform and international cooperation. A humane approach that respects both our laws and international obligations will lead to better outcomes for all involved.
How can nations balance their sovereignty and national laws with their obligations under international law and human rights norms, particularly when faced with complex issues like migration?
