(iii) is a big deal, it’s how international rules become law!

Wait, are you saying (i) is just voluntary? That seems off.

I think (iii) is also true, laws can change with state adoption.

I lean towards (D) because it seems like all three statements could be true in different contexts, but I'm not completely confident.

I practiced a similar question where we had to identify binding agreements, and I feel like (ii) might be misleading.

I think (iii) is definitely correct because regulations can become law when states adopt them, but I'm a bit confused about (ii).

I remember discussing how international regulations can sometimes be voluntary, but I'm not sure if that applies to all cases.

Option (iii) is the way to go. You know, the whole idea of international regulations reminds me of that old saying, 'herding cats.' It's like trying to get a bunch of countries to agree on anything – good luck with that!

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I was going to go with (i) and (ii), but I suppose (iii) covers all the bases. Although, I have to say, the idea of international regulators as a bunch of bureaucrats in fancy suits trying to herd cats is kind of amusing.

I was leaning towards (i) and (ii), but you're right, (iii) is the most comprehensive answer. International bodies can set standards, but they only have teeth once governments make them law.

Option (iii) seems to be the clear winner here. International regulations only become legally binding once they are adopted by individual states. The other options are too limited in their scope.
