Abstract:A brief survey of African practice with respect to the incorporation of international law into the national legal order and the settlement of conflicts between a rule of international law and a rule of national law indicates that the African solutions to the problem of relations between international law and State law are neither very original nor innovative. In only a few States of Africa is international law automatically part of the law of the land. When there is a conflict between these two kinds of rules, there is a tendency to consider that the constitution is supreme.
