Abstract

As a result of the urgent need in international relations and the interdependence of the interests of states to each other، international agreements and treaties came to arrange and organize these relations to become legal rules that states that join or ratify the international agreement or treaty are bound by. While the most important obligations that countries have after joining it is to be integrated into the law of the state and applied within its laws، some countries such as (France، Egypt،) worked to put in place a certain mechanism as mentioned above to implement the treaty on their lands The researchers used the analytical method to find out.

It thus determined the value of international treaties and their legislative rank among their legislation، but also specified the competent authority to ratify them، while some countries (such as Syria، Morocco) did not organize their constitutions a specific mechanism for integrating treaties within their national legislation and the legal value of the treaty in relation to national laws، as for the situation in Palestine The amended Palestinian Basic Law of 2005 came with a legislative deficiency regulating the legal value of the international treaty in Palestine Therefore، we recommended the importance of addressing it with clear legislative texts .

 Article (10) of the Palestinian Basic Law states the importance of the initiative of the Palestinian National Authority and its endeavor to join international treaties and conventions that protect human rights and freedoms. The texts also neglect to specify the authority that has jurisdiction to ratify .international treaties
