Reading the passage
The next paragraph explains what “treaty structure” means: a “set of guidelines” for creating treaties about particular waterways. Think of a framework treaty makers can use, rather than a single completed agreement governing every river.
Working the answers
- A
This proposes a comprehensive accord replacing individual bilateral treaties. The described guidelines are meant to help countries create specific treaties, not eliminate those separate agreements in favor of one comprehensive substitute.
- B
The commission draws on earlier legal material, but the product isn't simply a collection of exemplary old treaties. It states principles to guide new agreements. The source of the ideas and the form of the resulting framework are different things.
- C
Legal precedents inform the framework, but “treaty structure” doesn't name an analysis of those precedents. The second paragraph describes guidance for treaty provisions, which tells us what the resulting structure is for.
- DCorrect
“General prescriptive principles” are rules about what treaties should provide. Avoiding appreciable harm, ensuring equitable use, and protecting ecosystems are the specific examples supplied. They guide the formulation of agreements for particular international waterways.
- E
No new advisory board or charter authorizing one is proposed. The commission is preparing guidelines; that isn't the creation of another body to oversee negotiations.
