Non-adversarial definition

Non-adversarial means that the procedure should not be seen as a confrontation between the entities and not a trial.132 Dispute settlement is left to be performed through the means of Article 22: negotiation, arbitration or International Court’s of Justice services. The compliance mechanism should be a certain institutionalised platform for discussion between the parties on their compliance difficulties with a view to identify the problems and facilitate their solution.
