=Conditions that give rise to the need for law reform - International laws and conventions=

1. Explain what is meant by international laws and conventions as a reason for law reform We all know that International law is the body of law that governs the relationship between nations, and they conventions enable to do things, such as trade commerce with less disputes, but what about as a reason for law reform? International laws and conventions exist to promote certain ideals between countries. However, the existence of these agreements does not guarantee that their principles will be applied in each country. In Australia, the Commonwealth Parliament must pass legislation incorporating the elements of an international agreement to give it legal force. As the body of law increases of time, countries such as Australia will need to consider reforming more of their laws to meet their international obligations

2. Include an example of where this has occured A great example of why law reform is needed in regards to international laws and conventions is the example of the [|Convention on the Rights of the Child] (CROC) being adopted into Australia law –[| The Family Law Reform Act 1995]. International laws in Australia require us to pass a domestic law accepting the terms and conditions of the international law (ratification of International Law), so this is what occurred in 1995 in The Family Law Reform Act 1995. This ensured greater rights and more protection for children in our society.
