This document is the legal \"start button\" that transforms written law into active, binding law. Without this Proclamation, those sections would remain dormant and unenforceable."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/comprehensive-nuclear-test-ban-treaty-act-1998-proclamation-10-06-2004","history":"/api/acts/comprehensive-nuclear-test-ban-treaty-act-1998-proclamation-10-06-2004/history","analysis":"/api/acts/comprehensive-nuclear-test-ban-treaty-act-1998-proclamation-10-06-2004/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/comprehensive-nuclear-test-ban-treaty-act-1998-proclamation-10-06-2004/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/comprehensive-nuclear-test-ban-treaty-act-1998-proclamation-10-06-2004/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/comprehensive-nuclear-test-ban-treaty-act-1998-proclamation-10-06-2004/documents"}}
