6.5 Presumption Against Violation of International Law

The treaty's harmony: the statute presumed consistent with the international obligations (the interpretive-consistency rule — the VCLT-and-Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties interface of U2.2(f)); the interpretation's duty: the domestic provision read in the treaty's light where the words allow. Nepal's strength: the Treaty Act 2047's own primacy clause (the treaty's superiority over the domestic statute — the presumption's constitutionalisation, the s.9 doctrine).
