Question Description
Directions:Read the following passage and answer the question.There are two principal theories on the relationship between international law and domestic law - Monism and Dualism. The monistic theory maintains that the subjects of two systems of law, i.e. international law and municipal law are essentially one. The monistic theory asserts that international law and municipal law are fundamentally the same in nature, and arise from the same science of law, and are manifestations of a single conception of law. The followers of this theory view international law and municipal law as part of a universal body of legal rules binding all human beings, collectively or singly. In a monist system, international law does not need to be incorporated into domestic law because international law immediately becomes incorporated in domestic legal system upon ratification of an international treaty. According to this theory, domestic law is subordinate to international law. The Statute of the International Criminal Court, therefore, can be directly applied and adjudicated in national courts according to the monistic theory. According to dualism theory, international law and municipal law represent two entirely distinct legal systems, i.e. international has an intrinsically different character from that of municipal law. International law is not directly applicable in the domestic system under dualism. First, international law must be translated into State legislation before the domestic courts can apply it. For example, under dualism, ratification of the Statute of the International Criminal Court is not enough-it must be implemented through State legislation into the domestic system. Most States and courts presumptively view national and international legal systems as discrete entities and routinely discuss in dualist fashion incorporation of rules from one system to the other.Q. The country X has ratified an International Convention which requires each State Party to enact laws defining and punishing bribery, i.e., the act of offering bribes to Government officials. The Convention has neither defined bribery, nor prescribed a punishment for the same, so that each State Party may define the offence of bribery differently in their respective domestic legislations. By 2022, X has not enacted any law defining and punishing the offence of bribery. In November 2021, Mr. A was being prosecuted by a domestic criminal court in X for allegedly offering a bribe to a Government official. In the given situation, which of the following statements is correct?a)If X is a monist State, Mr. A can be punished for committing an offence under the Convention.b)If X is a dualist State, Mr. A can be punished for committing an offence under the Convention.c)If X is a dualist State, Mr. A cannot be punished for committing an offence under the Convention.d)Mr. A cannot be punished for committing an offence under the Convention irrespective of whether X is a monist or a dualist State.Correct answer is option 'D'.
