24. Verification means {XE "verification"} assessing the completeness and accuracy of compliance related information and its conformity with pre-established standards for reporting (C. P. Loreti, S. A. Foster, and J. E. Obbagy, An Overview of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Verification Issues [Arlington, VA: Pew Center on Global Climate Change, 2001]). The task of review is to evaluate available behavioral information in light of the legal commitments that states have assumed (UNEP {XE "United Nations Environment Programme"} Guidelines on Compliance with and Enforcement of Multilateral Environmental Agreements [Nairobi: UNEP, 2001]). Assistance means enabling or facilitating rule adherence; this can be the appropriate remedy if non-compliance results mostly from lack of capacity to implement international commitments effectively. Sanction refers to the imposition of various costs in response to nonadherence.
