Abstract
Federal supreme courts have often had occasion to decide disputes between members of the federation involved on the basis of doctrines of international law. This is not surprising as far as aggregative federations of previously independent states are concerned, but even in the atypical federalism of Belgium, we can ascertain a number of elements drawn from international law. This contribution discusses the use of two classical concepts of general international law in Belgian constitutional law (law of treaties and the law governing territorial issues) and then turns to the application of international human rights law to disputes between the entities of the Belgian federation, i.e. the federal State, the Communities and the Regions.
