Non-compliance procedures in multilateral environmental agreements : weaknesses' diagnosis and therapy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The paper focuses on the suitability of the Montreal Protocol’s non-compliance procedure (hereinafter, NCP) as a model of mechanism to ensure compliance with and enforcement of global Multilateral Environmental Agreements (hereinafter, MEAs). It aims to elucidate the conditions under which NCPs have proven most effective from those under which they show significant flaws. To this end, different sets of regimes are distinguished according to their underlying regulatory approaches and, thus, the characteristic features of the conventional obligations. It is submitted that these features determine the functionality of NCPs as regime-specific enforcement mechanisms. The NCPs’ performance is appraised in the various regimes, in order to establish a diagnosis of their main weaknesses, and forward proposals for a therapy to enhance their functionality.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
