History of Compliance with International Mandates

Geneva Convention

• ignored by terrorists - nothing to lose
• personal motivation to comply - self-preservation
• Korean/Vietnam War...
• does not really apply either

Kyoto Accords (most relevant) http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?did=1307667221&sid=5&Fmt=2&clientId=5482&RQT=309&VName=PQD^{Image Removed} http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?did=801652851&sid=5&Fmt=2&clientId=5482&RQT=309&VName=PQD^{Image Removed} http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?did=784211311&sid=5&Fmt=3&clientId=5482&RQT=309&VName=PQD^{Image Removed}

• all nations have stake in global climate, just like oceans
• unlike oceans, will cost a lot extra to conform
• still exist many economic incentives to violate
• punitive measures...effective?

Peace Treaties

• mutual destruction consequence - self-preservation; does not really apply

World Trade Organization (somewhat relevant)

• no clue yet

Consider: how to enforce a closed area? Or any other international policy?
