Treaties that are negotiated within an international organization will usually be adopted by a resolution of a representative organ of the organization whose membership more or less corresponds to the potential participation in the treaty in question.

 Embassy of Brazil   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The Montevideo Treaty of 1960 (TM-60), which created the Latin American Association of Free Trade (ALALC), engaged the member countries in the setting up of a Free Trade Zone to be implemented in 12 years, and had as its final objective the creation of a common regional market.
The member countries of the Montevideo Treaty ensured that its clauses were compatible with the rules of GATT, Article XXIV in particular, which allowed exceptions to the cornerstone clause of the most favored nation.
Additional difficulties were also due to the lack of flexibility in the main clauses of the Treaty, the overly-ambitious objectives it established, the opposition of the private sector, and last but not least, political problems, as a consequence of the gradual dominance of authoritarian regimes in nearly all the countries of the region.

 The alternative forest treaty: NGOs complied with their commitments
On their part, civil society organisations and social movements agreed on a number of commitments in Rio, enshrined in the so called alternative treaties, one of which was the "forest treaty".
It is very enlightening to re-read it now, because it is possible to verify that NGOs have basically fulfilled their commitments, in contrast with the almost complete failure from governments to comply with theirs.
The above is just a very brief synthesis of the thousands of examples regarding the actions that social movements have been carrying out in their defence of forests, in line with what they had committed to in Rio.
