6. Norm Enforcement
|
26, 28 September 2023
In one sense, norm enforcement is a higher level public
sector activity for international organizations, similar to regulatory
and law enforcement at the national level. At the international level, because
the traditional compliance-inducing instruments are absent, the function takes
on a different character. The session examines the process of norm enforcement
by looking at five cases: the dispute regulation program of the World Trade
Organization, the Human Rights machinery of the United Nations including the
Committee on the Eliimination of Discrimination
against Women, the International Tribunal on Law of the Sea and the IAEA. Due to medical issues, the Tuesday session will be virtual.
