In order to comprehend domestic and international rights, we must first understand the concept of domestic and international law. Domestic law is the system of law which operates within only one country whereas international law governs relationships between countries. There are significant differences between these two types of law. Domestic law can be enforced on citizens while international law relies on agreements or consensus between nations. Because each nation is sovereign, international law cannot be imposed on a nation without its consent, but a nation can impose its own laws on its people. ... Domestic rights are rights given to people depending on the system of law they are under. For example, Australia’s legal system is based on the Australian and state constitutions. These establish the system of law and some universal rights for citizens. International rights are those rights regarding more than one country. Here, international protections of rights have been established but there are limitations on the effectiveness in protecting these rights.
