Description:
This page intentionally left blank **Making Treaties Work** There is an increasing focus on the need for national implementation of treaties. International law traditionally leaves enforcement to individual parties, but more and more treaties contain arrangements to induce states to comply with their commitments. This book examines three forms of such mechanisms: dispute settlement procedures in the form of international courts, non-compliance procedures of an administrative character, and enforcement by coercive means. Three fields are examined: human rights, international environmental law, and arms control and disarmament. These areas are at the forefront of current international law and deal with multilateral rather than purely bilateral issues. The three sections on human rights, international environmental law, and arms control contain a general introduction and case studies of relevant treaties. **Preface and Acknowledgments** **Notes on the Contributors** **Table of Cases** **Table of Treaties and Other International Instruments** ### Introduction The significance of treaties, compliance with treaty obligations, general international law, treaty mechanisms, dispute settlement procedures, non-compliance procedures, enforcement.
