The 2012 agreement regulating navigation in Khor Abdullah is legally enforceable for both Iraq and Kuwait unless it is modified or canceled by either party. Therefore, the actions of the internal authorities of both nations cannot nullify this agreement from an international perspective, affecting both parties involved. It's parties must implement the agreement in good faith, and local law cannot be used as a justification for not executing its provisions. Here we must say that the matter depends on the internal law in each country and the extent to which it deals with the international agreement and localizes it in it. In Iraq, for example, international agreements are considered an ordinary law after ratification, and they enjoy the same legal status as other laws, and in the event of a conflict in interpretation or weighting. He resorts to some interpretive rules, such as the specific restricts the general, and the subsequent abrogates the previous...etc. It is then subject to the constitutional oversight of the Federal Supreme CourtIt follows from this that there is no room for ambiguity in clarifying that international agreements do not enjoy superiority over other ordinary laws from the internal perspective.
