Isi artikel

The use of international law in constitutional interpretation has sparked heated debate between judges on the High Court of Australia, most recently in the Court’s decision in Al - Kateb v Godwin. This article examines the attitudes, anxieties and assumptions that appear to underlie High Court decision-making on the issue. This examination is undertaken in light of the work of the Constitutional Court of South Africa. The work of this Court provides a useful comparison to the extent that the South African legal system has been restructured to enable a close engagement with international law. The South African experience of the last decade provides an informed basis and a developing body of case law against which to assess concerns regarding the Australian legal system’s relationship with international law.
