I asked you what the purpose of this Secretariat is. Since when do treaties require "Secretariats"?

This Secretariat is the office where a country can complain that another country is violating its own environmental laws to engage in unfair trading practices. I'm not sure this is a treaty since anybody can get out of it if they want to simply by saying so.

It's more like a contract which can be terminated at any time, and contracts can provide for Secretariats, Man-o-Wars, and Affirmeds. Whatever they want, really.
