Enforcement of laws implementing MEAs can pose a difficult challenge for many States. Opportunities for cooperation and coordination, although many, need to be increased to improve the capacity and capability of all States to implement their laws and achieve compliance with MEAs. As with compliance-related issues, national enforcement plans, initiatives and actions can greatly benefit from cooperative efforts, whether at the bilateral, regional or global level. This is because, in spite of the national nature of many enforcement efforts, there are countless ways in which States seeking to implement and enforce the terms of an MEA can learn from one another and support one another’s efforts. Areas such as consistency in laws and regulations, improved judicial coordination, strengthened institutional frameworks and capacity building all deserve special attention in this regard.
