Complete the following assignment:
The Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General has proposed a treaty that has
the United States, all European Union states, Ukraine, and Russia as prospective parties. The treaty
provides for
• a year-long cease-fire covering the provinces that Russia has claimed that it has annexed, and
fighting between Ukraine and Russia remains intense in those areas;
• an end to all weapons supplies and other military support from outside actors;
• all disputes over the treaty and the disputed areas to be adjudicated through the International
Court of Justice (ICJ). The United States has withdrawn its acceptance of the “optional clause,”
and all the other states have attached reservations to the ICJ Statute that are the same as the
French one in the Case of Certain Norwegian Loans.
• The treaty enters into force with the ratification of all prospective parties.
As Legal Advisor to the US State Department, Secretary Antony Blinken has asked you to identify all
relevant developments in which (1) the proposed agreement might never happen and (2) those that would
lead the agreement to fall apart after it takes effect.
Using the international legal rules on treaties (and any material covered through IIC1 on the
course syllabus) focus on how various changes, events, or decisions affect the legal status of the agreement
–these scenarios (e.g., one side violates the treaty) might be political or legal, but only consider those with
possible legal effects on the proposed agreement.
