Answer By law4u team

International law and domestic law are different in a few significant ways: Scope: Domestic law refers to laws that are applicable within a specific country's jurisdiction, while international law is applicable to multiple countries or the international community as a whole. Enforcement: Domestic law is enforced through the courts and legal systems of a particular country, while international law lacks a centralized enforcement mechanism. Instead, international law relies on the willingness of countries to comply with the law voluntarily and on the role of international organizations, such as the International Criminal Court or the International Court of Justice, to resolve disputes between countries. Sources: Domestic law is derived from a country's constitution, statutes, and court decisions, while international law comes from treaties, customary practices, and general principles recognized by the international community. Content: Domestic law typically covers a wide range of areas, such as criminal law, civil law, and administrative law, while international law generally deals with issues such as human rights, international trade, and armed conflict. Interpretation: Domestic law is interpreted and applied by domestic courts, while international law is interpreted and applied by international tribunals and bodies. In summary, international law differs from domestic law in its scope, enforcement mechanisms, sources, content, and interpretation.
