Professor of Political Science and Executive Editor of Just Security Oona A. Hathaway (Just Security Bio) has an article on the Just Security website entitled “Transparency of International Agreements Under the Revised Case-Zablocki Act: An Assessment After Six Months”.
Abstract:
In December 2022, Congress enacted sweeping transparency reforms for executive agreements, which took effect in September 2023. In this post, we assess how well this new transparency system is working based on publicly available information. As we will explain, the law has led to substantially more transparency for these agreements, as Congress had intended. In at least one respect, however, the executive branch’s compliance raises questions for Congress to consider, and there are other aspects of the new transparency regime that could be improved. As Congress knew when it enacted the law, more work remains to be done.
