In their to implement international treaties – as the most important source of international law – member states are likely to face two questions: 1. As regards the interpretation of the concerned treaty, with whom does the competency and jurisdiction rest an international judicial authority or specific authorities of the member state? In the latter case, which authority will enjoy such competence: the executive power or domestic courts? While the intervention of the executive power may lead to injustice, exclusive competence of domestic courts may lead to an interpretation causing international responsibility and liability of the member state.2. If there is a conflict between domestic law9s0 of the member state and (a provision of) the treaty signed by this state, which one would prevail? May the treaty abrogate the domestic law already enacted? May the treaty provision (s) be abrogated by a later enacted domestic law.

In every community, higher values and interests have a special position. In the form of the concept of public order, national legal systems support these higher values and interests against the individual interests and freedom. In these systems, the function of public order is to limit contractual freedom and to prevent from enforcement of foreign law and awards.Although the international community still has not quiet been developed and has not an independent entity such as national communities, it has higher values and interests of its own. International law system, despite its contractual nature, can by international public order limits individual freedom of states. Although this system due to lack of evolution and its nature whish is different from national legal systems, is not able to absorb all concepts and principles of national legal systems.

Demonstrations in Libya in February 2011 were cruelly cracked down by the military forces of Gadhafi regime and the cities which were under the control of protestors were bombed by heavy arms and airplanes. The opposition groups, the League of Arab Nations and some countries demanded the Security Council to protect Libyan civilians. The SC in its resolution 1970 adopted some sanctions against the Libyan regime. In the second step, by adopting resolution 1973, the SC authorized international community to protect civilians in Libya even through military operations and to establish a no-fly zone. This paper explores the legal aspects of the SC resolution 1973 including the legitimacy of the use of force despite the principle of "no intervention in internal affairs of the UN member states", the commanding of the military operations under this resolution, and the extent of the authorized military operations.
