UN Treaty by Political Pressure

I found this interesting.


The United Nations treaty about smacking children can only be enforced through political pressure. I deleted the subjective segment, points of view about the smacking itself and kept the legal/political viewpoints.

There is a book titled: "The Enforcement of International Law Through Municipal Law In the United States" (Philip Quincy Wright). I used to have a physical copy. Its available via books.google.com. Could the word 'municipal' be synonymous with 'personal' as opposed to 'territorial'?
