Abstract
Abstract This article considers the significance of Australia’s federal constitutional structure to its relationship with international law. It focuses specifically on how Australia’s federal system continues to influence Australia’s ability to assume, implement and comply with international obligations, by considering a series of examples in which states and territories have acted inconsistently with those obligations. It argues that understanding the domestic legal framework that governs how a state interacts with international law, as well as the political and historical contexts that inform how that framework actually operates, allows for greater insight into how that state relates to the international legal system.
