Jurisdictional hierarchy and protection of the human person

Is there a hierarchical relationship between domestic and international courts in the protection of human rights? In theory, the relationship between domestic and international courts is ordered. In practice, this order is often disrupted by the questioning of decisions emanating from international jurisdictions, and vice versa. The truth is that national and international courts have basically the same objectives. Therefore, the strengthening of the dialogue between judges will allow the emergence of a "community of judges" whose exchanges lead to the constitution of a common law thanks to the circulation of models and the mutual enrichment of case law. But above all, it will lead to an effective and efficient protection of human rights.
