Abstract
This chapter draws attention to this development in international law, and explains why particular types of collective compliance mechanism have been introduced in the law of the sea and what they offer compared with the traditional paradigm. It begins with a discussion of advantages and limitations of individual compliance mechanisms and of collective compliance mechanisms. There are a number of features of the compliance mechanism that are of particular interest. First, the body dealing with compliance is not an inter-governmental body, unlike nearly all the other collective compliance mechanisms in the law of the sea examined in the chapter. Much of the law of the sea, however, is concerned with obligations owed to the international community in general, or, to use the title of the classic work by McDougal and Burke, the public order of the oceans. For this, collective compliance mechanisms are better suited than individual mechanisms. Keywords:compliance mechanisms; international law
