4. STATUS OF INTERNATIONAL TREATIES
IN NATIONAL LAW
The Political Constitution establishes the precedence with
respect to international treaties:
Art. 145: ?No treaties may be ratified that restrict or affect
in any way constitutional provisions, unless the ratification is
done with the corresponding reservations. The provisions of the
treaty that are subject to reservations are not the law of the Republic.?
Art. 146: ?No treaties may be negotiated or ratified or concessions
made that in any way alter the type of government or harm or undermine
the integrity of the territory, the sovereignty and independence
of the Republic or the rights and fundamental guarantees of the
human being.
The aforementioned applies to international treaties or contracts
with governments or with national or international companies whereby
the Salvadoran state submits to the jurisdiction of a court in a
foreign nation.??
