The following list shall serve as a checklist only. The elements listed are not necessarily to be included in all treaties, agreements or other instruments, hereafter jointly referred to as 'treaties'. 

The list is, on one hand, based on the current international practice and, on the other, inspired by an analysis of frequent weaknesses of international treaties.

Users are free and even invited to copy and adapt the list to the needs of a particular international context. The Regulatory Institute would be pleased to be informed on such transformative use.
