A set of rules and procedures aimed at monitoring, assessing and facilitating compliance. Compliance control techniques primarily emphasize a non-confrontational and non-judicial approach. Techniques for compliance control include the measures that the parties to an agreement, individually or through a special mechanism (e.g. joint commission, meeting of the parties) take to ensure that the treaty obligations are properly complied with. Compliance verification provisions are rare in international watercourse instruments. They may provide for reporting, review and evaluation of implementation as well as measures to facilitate and ensure compliance.
