Implementation of International Treaties: A Focus on the Impact of International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) in Kenya

International law under the new constitution has been deemed to form part of the Kenyan legal system. The constitution has fundamentally provided that the general rules in international law form part of the laws in Kenya and any treaty or convention ratified by Kenya shall form part of the laws of Kenya under the constitution pursuant to article 2(6). The International Convention on civil and political rights (ICCPR) was adopted in Kenya in December 16th 1966 and ratified in May 1st 1972. It recognized with accordance to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights the ideal for free human beings enjoying civil and political freedom and freedom from fear.This study highlights on the effectiveness of ICCPR in protecting the civil and political rights of women in Kenya and its impact on dispute resolution. The study also seeks to provide an insight on how the domestic law loopholes can be cured by the ICCPR. It also seeks to state the limitation of domestication of the ICCPR and the recommendation to solve the issues. This argues for better implementation of the international legal instrument in all spheres of the government.
