General Application of International Treaties in China

Abstract

The world today is undergoing major changes unprecedented in a century. World multipolarization, economic globalization, social informatization and cultural pluralism are developing in depth, and the pace of reshaping the global pattern and international order is accelerating. As an objective historical process, the globalization of law has also become an irreversible trend of the times, which undoubtedly challenges the traditional theory of the relations between international law and domestic law. Under such a new world pattern, China pursues and advocates a new type of international relations and values, and has always attached great importance to the implementation of international law and related international obligations. However, in China, the study of how to apply treaties is limited to theoretical discussions, there are many uncertainties in judicial practice, and there are still legislative gaps in the hierarchy and method of treaty application in the domestic legal system, which are all issues that need to be solved urgently.
