Abstract

According to Article 103 of the UN Charter, obligations arising from the UN Charter has priority over other obligations of the members of the United Nations. There is much evidence in practice of governments, international instruments, and judicial decisions in the post-Cold War which indicate the obligations arising from binding decisions of the UN Security Council are within the scope of the UN Charter obligations. So, in the event of any conflict between these obligations and any international agreement priority is given to Article 103 of the UN Charter. However, it seems for solving the said conflict in such cases, the national courts and European Court of Justice have been based on different approaches and consequently, they have adopted three judicial approaches as following: "conformity", "separation" and "harmonization". The variety and diversity of the mentioned approaches will affect not only the rights of individuals, but also the coherence of international law.
