None of the above
Correct Answer:
Whenever there is a dispute between international and domestic law, supremacy of International Law will be there.
Explanation:
Thus, it is to be understood that each country has their own method of dealing with the application of international law to its jurisdiction. The provisions of international law are often used to supplement various propositions of the domestic law when they are both concurrent with each other. However, whenever there is a dispute between international and domestic law, supremacy of either depends mainly on the forum, i.e. where the case is being contested. International forums generally give preference to treaty law and other international sources whereas domestic forums give preference to statutes of the jurisdiction.
