It has been argued that domestic courts seem passive in the application of international law in consideration of the execution of decision, accruing to the restraint of courts. Courts have justified its reluctance to invoke human rights treaties directly for reason of non-self-executing effect of treaties. However, the doctrine of non-self-executing effect does not correspond to the explicit provision of the constitution on the relations between international law and municipal law. The constitutions of most states explicitly manifest to treaties the same status as municipal law. In the process of a treaty having domestic effect through its domestic implementation, the most significant aspect is for a treaty to be invoked and applied as a norm in the court proceeding. If the treaty is not practically applied in the court proceedings as the judicial norm, even after the accession to the treaty, the significance of accession might not eventuate in the protection of human rights of individuals.
