Strengthening mechanisms for securing compliance with the law

Description

Strengthening mechanisms for securing compliance with the law involves implementing practical measures such as robust monitoring, effective enforcement, clear penalties, and accessible reporting systems. These actions aim to deter violations, ensure accountability, and promote adherence to legal standards. By addressing gaps in oversight and remedying weak enforcement, this strategy enhances the rule of law, protects public interests, and fosters trust in legal institutions, ultimately reducing unlawful behavior and improving societal order.

Implementation

This strategy features in the framework of Agenda 21 as formulated at UNCED (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), now coordinated by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development and implemented through national and local authorities.
