Under Articles 93 and 94 of the Dutch Constitution, what happens when a national Dutch law conflicts with a directly binding provision of an international treaty (such as the ECHR)?

The Dutch national law automatically invalidates the international treaty within the Netherlands. The international treaty provision prevails over the conflicting national Dutch law. The case must be referred to a national referendum before any law can be applied. The Dutch law remains binding until the Minister of Foreign Affairs formally withdraws from the treaty.

Correct Answer:

The international treaty provision prevails over the conflicting national Dutch law.
