A. International law.
The Vienna convention on the law of treaties sets forth various conditions under
which nations can suspend, terminate, or withdraw from treaties. For example, it
provides that treaty obligations may be suspended or terminated, or that a state
may withdraw from (or “denounce”) a treaty, in accordance with a treaty’s terms,
and under certain other limited conditions indicating consent of the parties. Id.
Arts. 54, 56-59. It also specifies that a party to a treaty may suspend or terminate
its obligations going forward in response to a material breach by another party,
impossibility of performance, or a fundamental change of circumstances. Vienna
convention, arts. 60-62. The united states, although not a party to the Vienna
convention, follows those provisions of the convention that it considers to reflect
customary international law, and it has indicated that the Vienna convention
provisions relating to suspension, termination, and withdrawal are generally
consistent with accepted principles of international law.
