See also the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, which in Article 27 provides that A party may not invoke the provisions of its internal law as justification for its failure to perform a treaty. It has been said that this principle is a self-evident one (Hersch Lauterpacht, The Development of International Law by the International Court, London Stevens Sons, 1958, p. 262). For a critical examination of the labelling of this principle as such, see Masahiko Asada, International Regime-Making Treaties and Constitutional Constraints on Their National Implementation , Journal of International Law...

He admitted the difiiculty. He would, he said, be prepared to undertake complete disarmament in Palestine—disarmament of Arabs and Jews alike—and he quite recognized the need for some sort of interim U.N. or international regime, provided it was not to be in preparation for partition. 

In Bulgaria, the third country examined here, acid rain policies of the 1990s represent the all-too-familiar case in international cooperation of a dissonance between the goals of international regimes and the immediate domestic priorities and capacity. This resulted in slow air pollution reforms and eventually the formal adoption of international rules, with delayed implementation. I call this a wait-and-see approach to international regulations, as the country postpones compliance waiting for circumstances that could reduce the cost of international regulations to make them more palatable to domestic constituencies. 

This brief history of the acid rain policies of three transition countries demonstrates that the rules set by international regimes tend to be reshaped by different domestic circumstances. When there is a high correspondence between domestic priorities and international norms as in the Czech Republic, there is high level of implementation and even anticipatory over-compliance with international standards. The interplay between domestic and...

This uncertainty is exacerbated by the varying standards which different countries have adopted in determining intervention levels, as discussed in detail in sub-section 8.5 on the European Economic Community and illustrated by some examples in Table 8.2. Thus, although the international regime on compensation provisions is not directly linked to harmonisation of intervention standards, it is nevertheless important to the functioning of this regime that a solution be found . ... 

Simple experiments performed both in a continuous-fed tubular reactor or a batch reactor can discriminate between external or internal regimes. For external diffusion, runs are made in a tubular reactor in order to evaluate the conversion (X) of the reagent at different ratios between the weight of the catalyst (W, kg) and the amount of feed (F, kg/h or L/h). If two runs at the same temperature give the same value of X at the same value of W/F, but with two different amounts of catalyst (i.e., Wi and W2), then external diffusion is absent. In fact, to have the same value of W/F with two different weights W, it is necessary to change F and... 

It remains an open question whether governments that were involved in the past in illicit nuclear activities would cooperate with an international regime that s sole purpose is to identify the responsible parties and perhaps punish them. 

The concepts of liberalism, liberal states, international regimes and international governance address issues that are important to international law in general. These approaches do not always agree with each other but neither do the points presented here exclude each other. They all describe aspects of this project on minorities and self-determination. 1 only deal with liberal states. I see international organizations as important actors in the field of analysis. Aspects of international regimes are reshuffled by using a normative optic on them.
