I am suggesting the following option, since, in my modest reading of International Law, I have not come across it.
It relatively takes a similar amount of time-and-energy* to lower, for example, the per diem catch of endangered fish species A, whether from 75 to 50 or from 51 to 50. It is proposed that if a state party to an international convention regulating that matter is already per day catching 51 species A, it should be exempted from taking the precautions to lessen the number to 50; thus, giving that state party opportunity to direct its focus and energy to more pressing areas of concern – such as, to minimize the level of carbon dioxide in atmosphere.
* Weather one wishes to drink 100 milliliter or 500 milliliter of water, one has to spend the similar amount of time-and-energy in making up one's mind, getting up, going to kitchen, taking a glass, filling the glass with water as desired, consume water and retrace one's steps; only in consumption and in filling the glass do 100 or 500 milliliter vary.
Addendum to my yesterday's post titled "Some Dilemmas"
In Euclid's plain, at the point of infinity (logical conclusion), the parallel lines of laissez-faire and Communism intersect; therefore, some conservative measures (such as anti-trust or competency authorities) need to be put in place, despite overall championing of liberty.
A secular ideology is, for instance, liberal humanism that, in Professor Huntington terms, ought to have acted as a coalescing factor in Orwell's Oceania. Instead, political differences – that appear ideological but are not really so[1] – between the American Democrats and American Republicans are reaching a point of no return.
Further, my previous suggestion of United States of Africa no longer appears sound. Although idea of nation-state never really took off in Africa, greater provincialism will probably not result in better economic or defense situation there.
Note that "the Warsaw Pact, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization" are quasi-empires. The conflict between nations within an Empire, when there is a communication gap, is of a simmering kind, which may lead to conflagration when better and continuous communications exist. Communication is thus oxygen.
[1] Real differences were, for instance, between British Tories and British Whigs. Both major American political parties, however, are pro-Israel, pro-free trade and anti-China, People's Republic – though not witting as to how to deal with it.
