This question is about European law. The European Court of Justice (ECJ) judges do not always agree (= concur) on whether the community law (= the rules of the European Union) has supremacy over national law of a Member State. That's what you need to discuss: is community law 'more powerful' (supreme over) than national law?
The answer is yes and no.
Yes, because EU community law is not the same as any other type of international law. See case 62/26 ECJ.
No, because the EU and therefore ECJ do not always have full jurisdiction. You will need to see EU treaties TEU and TFEU for that.

It depends on what type of material you are using, If your downloading copyrighted material than yes, that would be illegal, torrents are just a means, a mechanism by which you can make the download , there are many file sharing programs you can use to to share files. frostwire is one bearshare is another just off the top of my head,
It isn't the torrent that is illegal it is what you do with it, or what type of files that you chose to download that may be illegal.
If you download public domain type files or ones that don't have any commercial type rights attached to them prohibiting you from downloading them without paying for them than yes that would be illegal. However if you avoid doing that and stick to files without any copyright etc you will be fine.

The Supreme Court of Canada ruled that Québec does not have the right of unilateral secession. In the Reference re Secession of Québec, the Supreme Court answered that the peoples of Québec cannot be considered an oppressed group that would have the right to such a form of secession, and further argued that Canada would be "entitled to maintain its territorial integrity under international law and to have that territorial integrity recognized by other states."
The Court noted, however, that a declaration of unconstitutional secession may become a de facto secession, were other members of the international community to grant recognition to Québec as a sovereign state.
false, they did not have right of secession.

The laws of the Salian Franks - the tribe who founded the French kingdom - stated that landed property could only be passed down through the male line. This was later amended to allow a daughter to inherit if there were no sons. Originally, the law did not mention inheritance of kingship, but its original spirit produced an absolute rule that the throne of France could never be occupied by a woman. This is the context in which Salic Law is most often mentioned.

From wikipedia, "A township in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania is a unit of local government (see civil township) subordinate to a county, and distinct from cities and boroughs. Townships were established based on convenient geographical boundaries and vary in size from six to forty square miles (15-104 km²). There are two classifications of townships, first class and second class. To become a first class township, townships of the second class must have a population density of 300 inhabitants per square mile (120 /km2) and voters must approve the change of classification in a referendum. However, many townships have chosen to remain second class townships even though they meet the population density requirements to become first class townships."

Yes, as a matter of fact there are.
We aware that you asked this question. It is a bit more complex than you may have bargained for, and while you and other might disagree with some of the content, that in no way negates the truth of the following.
Those dealing with or addressing rules of warfare and what constitutes war crimes are Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907, and The Protocol for the Prohibition of the Use in War of Asphyxiating, Poisonous or other Gases, and of Bacteriological Methods of Warfare (or simply the Geneva Protocols). That dealing with non-combatants and the treatment of wounded and prisoners is the Geneva Conventions. While there is no specific treaty abolishing the use of nuclear weapons, the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty generally applies, and the doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction pretty much keeps the hands of the leaders off the keys.
However, the various treaties truly have no power to police anyone on the battlefield. Anyone who has been in a trench, on point, or humping a pack through enemy territory, just generally faced death in the service of his country, intimately understands that there are only two natural rules of war and warfare: in no particular order other than what is priority at the instant, Kill your enemy, and stay alive.
To the first: dead is dead. While there are often strategy and tactics involved in the waging of war, ultimately it is the job of the professional soldier to eliminate the enemy's ability to wage war. The most certain way to accomplish that is to end his life; dead soldiers aren't able to fight. Now, that being established, dead being dead, it really matters little how you get the enemy there; you utilize the means to complete the task that you have at hand.
To the second: anything necessary that must be accomplished, to include preserving the lives of you and your fellow soldiers and the soldiers of your allies, must be done. If that mean you must kill the enemy, then you must. The mission is the mission, and if the enemy kills you, you cannot complete your mission.
All this being said, unless you have stood a watch, saluted shiny things, carried a weapon in the defense of your nation, stood up and sworn the oath, then you truly cannot understand. You can try. You can sympathize. You can support the troops. You should work very hard to do all three. Not out of some sense of nationalism or patriotism or political activism. But, because there but for the grace of every single service member who has done his or her job, there would go you.

The Constitution's Third Amendment, which forbids nonconsensual quartering of soldiers in private homes during peacetime, lies almost forgotten among theBill of Rights. It has been neither the source of much judicial concern nor the object of extensive academic or political controversy. Yet its subject was of great importance to the framers of the Constitution, and it has recently received a modest new lease on life as one of the foundations of the modern constitutional right to privacy.
in a nutshell it means soldiers cant walk into a random citizens home with out consent(permission)
