Non-compliance mechanisms are more important than ever for helping ensure the effective implementation of treaties, now and into the future.
The effective implementation of treaties is essential. This book examines the advantages of non-compliance mechanisms (NCMs) versus that of international courts and tribunals to support treaty fulfilment. It brings together globally-recognised names in international law, human rights law, environmental and climate change law, and trade law.This book explores the best mechanisms for helping bring about compliance with international treaties. In recent years, many international treaties have included non-compliance mechanisms (NCMs) to facilitate implementation and promote parties' compliance with their obligations. These NCMs exist alongside the formal dispute resolution processes of international courts and tribunals. The authors bring together a wide legal and geographical spectrum of views from different parts of the world representing novel insights into NCMs' contribution to treaty implementation and compliance. The research has cast important light on how procedural innovations may help render NCMs more effective, as well as on the circumstances in which they may be needed, including particularly where nations share common interests, populations are interdependent, and implementation makes significant administrative, regulatory and political demands.
