Arrêt Luski affirms the primacy of which type of law over Belgian national law?

This item tests the principle that supranational rules—specifically European Union law and international law—have priority over Belgian national law. Arrêt Luski is a case where the Belgian court affirmed that when national rules clash with EU or international obligations, the supranational law prevails and must be applied or interpreted first. This reflects how Belgium binds itself to its international commitments and to EU law, so those norms govern the national legal order. The other options would place law at the national level or local level, which does not capture the overridden status that international and EU law have in this context.
