6.2 Making an Enabling Legislation in Compliance with Treaty Obligations

Where a treaty needs new machinery (an authority, a procedure, an offence), the enabling Act builds it:1. The enabling section — power to make rules for carrying out the treaty's purposes, naming the treaty.2. The machinery — the authority, registration, inspection, or reporting system the treaty demands.3. The offences — treaty violations (e.g., trafficking or transnational organized crime instruments) with calibrated penalties.4. The saver and override clauses — resolving conflicts with older Acts in the treaty's favour where policy so decides.
