Wildlife trade, sanctions and compliance: Lessons from the CITES regime
Article Abstract:
The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) uses trade sanctions as the cornerstone of a unique compliance system that evolved through practice and secondary rules. The CITES compliance system grew largely in isolation from other environmental treaties, but the effectiveness of the mechanisms used offers lessons for other trade-related agreements that are in the process of developing their own systems to address non-compliance.
