There are three types of law which prevail at the federal, state, and local levels of government in the United States: Statutory Law, Case (or Judicial Law) , and Regulations (or Administrative Law). Regulations are written by executive agencies to establish the rules and detailed procedures needed to administer the statutory laws passed by Congress and signed by the President. All of these terms are used to describe regulations: rule, administrative law, delegated legislation, and sublegislation. The federal government publishes all regulations in the Federal Register, along with proposed rules, notices, and other materials. The regulations are collected, rearranged by subject, and published in the Code of Federal Regulations.

La ley no incluye todos los detalles necesarios para su cabal puesta en ejecución. Muchos de los aspectos sólo se mencionan y se señala que el reglamento dispondrá xxx en esta materia, o así por el estilo. Aquí, en mi país, por ejemplo, tenemos la nueva Ley general de migración, pero los legisladores aún no se ponen de acuerdo en cuanto a su reglamento.
Estoy mirando la convención sobre derecho del mar, UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, y la solución que repite es: "States shall adopt laws and regulations" y en el art. 310 "the harmonization of its laws and regulations with the provisions of this Convention". Tal vez sea bueno mencionar las dos cosas.
Entiendo que se trata de que la ley no diga simplemente "ratíficase la convención XXX" como a veces ocurre, sino que sea una ley que permita la aplicación concreta del contenido de la convención en el sistema jurídico del país.

draw up a law
Explanation: Yo creo que aquí "reglamentar" es simplemente "articular", "redactar". Es mi impresión.
Suerte.
