Implementation of the Geneva Resolution is an onerous task. It will encounter various challenges and dilemmas. It requires the establishment of institutional structures and national legislation to give effect to operative part of the Geneva Resolutions. Implementing legislation must not offend the 1978 Constitution and the 1976 Vienna Convention of the Law of Treaties (VCLT 1976)
The Geneva Resolutions
The Geneva Resolution can be classified as a non-treaty instrument. It is different from a treaty in many respects (Anthony Aust – Modern Treaty Practice). It does not require the consent of the State to be bound by such Resolutions. It has a preambular and operative part. It is likely to be interpreted in the same way as a treaty by reference to articles 31 and 32 of the VCLT 1969. It resembles the Resolutions of other UN Specialized Agencies such as IMO or ICAO which are of a binding nature.

Electoral reform
December 20, 2020
Last Tuesday three ex-presidents and the current one held a forum at State House, sans Mr David Granger. It was effectively a “Think Tank” chirruped the state paper all a-flutter. Hardly. Apart from the fact that think-tanks are of an entirely different composition, it has to be said that three of the participants have been denizens of Freedom House for so long that it would be quite astonishing if they could surprise their comrades with anything they had not heard before. Even Mr Sam Hinds who was a member of the Civic component in government for more than twenty years, must be well acquainted with the drift of party thinking, although admittedly his counterparts may be less familiar with any radical thoughts which might have been gestating in his mind over the past five years.
