The place of international law in Kenya as per the New Constitution?

The new Constitution of Kenya, adopted in 2010, places international law at a significant level within the country's legal framework. Article 2(5) and Article 2(6) explicitly state that international law is part of the law of Kenya, allowing for the incorporation of treaties and conventions ratified by the country. This means that international law can be applied directly in Kenyan courts, and domestic laws must align with international obligations. This integration emphasizes Kenya's commitment to upholding international standards, particularly in human rights and governance.
