The international law is seriously contemplating “about compliance, or the interplay between international law and domestic law”

Whether the judiciary is acting in interest of people or the markets is something which is debatable, however, what is becoming apparent is that a new kind of pressure is certainly being exerted on the judiciary to move towards the trans-nationalisation of law. This tension, according to Balakrishna Rajagopal (writing in the Leiden Journal of International Law), is evident in the current debates about global governance: The international law is seriously contemplating “about compliance, or the interplay between international law and domestic law.”

As there are huge profits to be had through merchandising agreements, an increased interest in the business has been felt, of late.
