국제환경협약의 이행 및 준수 메커니즘- 비준수절차를 중심으로 -

According to the prevailing view, the explosion of international environmental agreements over the past three decades led to the development of international environmental law. But words on paper are not enough. It is important to comply their international environmental obligations of members of international community. Ensuring compliance by members of international community with their international environmental obligations continues to be a matter of concerns. This is reflected in the attention the issue received at UNCED, 1992, in the negotiation and implementation of recent international environmental agreements. International environmental regimes have increasingly focused, not just on the adoption new standards, but on the implementation of existing ones. Non-Compliance Procedures(NCP) in multilateral environmental agreements(MEAs) have slowly but certainly become the method as the preferred means to ensure compliance with environmental obligations in public international law and their importance is growing. This article outlines the NCP and discusses how it applies to current international environmental agreement non-compliance. Section II provides a brief summary of the Montreal NCP negotiation process. Section III attempts to clarify the purpose and characters of the NCP. Section IV analyse the elements of mechanics of NCP, pointing out the important functions played by the specialized NCP regime institutions. This article looks into major elements of compliance procedure and mechanisms. The conclusion identifies the NCP as a new approach to international environmental agreements implementation and compliance, in general to be regard as a political process. Based on this analysis, I will present a view on the prospects for compliance procedure and mechanisms in MEAs.
