General Comments and other normative interpretations
Consider the General Comments of International Treaty Bodies
Many international conventions establish a committee to monitor and advise on the implementation of its provisions. To this end, committees frequently make a General Comment on a particular provision as guidance on how the provision should be implemented. Serving to elucidate the obligations of the State, a General Comment is an authoritative interpretation of binding obligations.
