Given the question: Question: "How is the self-executing treaty activated?" Context: "Treaties may be seen as 'self-executing', in that merely becoming a party puts the treaty and all of its obligations in action. Other treaties may be non-self-executing and require 'implementing legislation'a change in the domestic law of a state party that will direct or enable it to fulfill treaty obligations. An example of a treaty requiring such legislation would be one mandating local prosecution by a party for particular crimes." Answer:
The answer is:
merely becoming a party puts the treaty and all of its obligations in action
