Such claims do not comport with reality.

The five week negotiating programme called for in the draft resolution (para. 4) did not comport with the objective that treaty negotiations should be well paced, deliberate and unhurried, with no artificial deadlines and ample time for inter agency consultations and preparation within capitals.

That formulation when read together with paragraph (13) of the commentary to the draft principle and paragraphs (11) to (14) of the commentary to draft principle 3 seemed to place the polluter pays principle in competition with other options, an approach which did not comport with recent practice.
