International mechanisms --- Thanks Mariano and Nathalie. The text stays clear of Chapter VII of the UN Charter precisely because there are many circumstances which have to be addressed without using a mechanism which could be frustrated by the veto power of a permanent member of the Security Council. Nathalie gives one example, but the provision of humanitarian assistance under various and different umbrellas is also important. And often much quicker.
