Our mission is to support the development, implementation and effectiveness of international agreements and related regional and national initiatives, with particular attention to issues of monitoring, review, legislation and verification. VERTIC publishes its research on verification regimes through a series of openly available publications. The centre also offers training through workshops carried out around the world, as well as through our internship programme. We help governments and international organizations in their efforts to make regimes binding by offering ratification support. VERTIC also assists governments in translating commitments undertaken in international law into national legislation and regulation. We conduct all our work in an objective and impartial manner. There were a number of issues which needed to be resolved in the Conference on Disarmament negotiations on the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty. Those included the scope of the treaty, the verification arrangements, and how many and which countries must ratify the treaty before it entered into force. Entry into Force (EIF) emerged as an issue with the potential to disrupt negotiations. Monitoring states' compliance with the treaty could not start until it entered into force. The implementation process, including the verification regime, would then be set in motion. Without the verification and other organizational structures in place, the treaty would be ineffective.
