3. Theories on the Relation
Monistic School
Monists have a unitary concept of law and see all law, and consequently international and municipal law, as an integral part of the same system
Should there be conflict between the two:
Primacy on International Law
Primacy on National Law
Dualistic School
Dualists see domestic law and international law as independent of each other
The two systems regulate different subject matter
Dualists hold that the two systems are mutually exclusive and can have no contact with and no effect on each other
If international law applied within a state it is only because it has been expressly incorporated into municipal law.
