International agreements can profoundly impact domestic law by establishing frameworks that countries must adhere to, often requiring legal adaptations. Treaties and accords, such as those addressing human rights or environmental protection, influence national legislation and policy-making processes. When countries ratify agreements, they typically commit to implementing necessary changes to align their laws with international standards. This process can enhance domestic legal protections but may also face challenges from local interests resistant to compliance. Ultimately, the interplay between international obligations and domestic law shapes governance and regulatory practices.
