is_impossible: yes
context: A treaty is an agreement under international law entered into by actors in international law, namely sovereign states and international organizations. A treaty may also be known as an (international) agreement, protocol, covenant, convention, pact, or exchange of letters, among other terms. Regardless of terminology, all of these forms of agreements are, under international law, equally considered treaties and the rules are the same.

is_impossible: yes

question: The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change was supplemented by what protocol?
is_impossible: yes
context: Since the late 19th century, most treaties have followed a fairly consistent format. A treaty typically begins with a preamble describing the contracting parties and their joint objectives in executing the treaty, as well as summarizing any underlying events (such as a war). Modern preambles are sometimes structured as a single very long sentence formatted into multiple paragraphs for readability, in which each of the paragraphs begins with a verb (desiring, recognizing, having, and so on).

is_impossible: yes

question: In addition to terminating the treaty itself, what actions by the other parties might result from one party materially violating or beaching its obligations?
is_impossible: yes
context: After the preamble comes numbered articles, which contain the substance of the parties' actual agreement. Each article heading usually encompasses a paragraph. A long treaty may further group articles under chapter headings.

qas: question: What is the formal name for the closing protocol of a treaty?
answers: text: the eschatocol
is_impossible: no

answers: text: the site(s) of the treaty's execution and the date(s)
is_impossible: no

question: How is the date typically written in a treaty?
answers: text: its most formal, longest possible form
is_impossible: no

is_impossible: yes

question: Modern treaty law can be compared in function and effectiveness to the historical Articles of Confederation by comparing the pre-Constitutional United States Federal government with what modern institution?
is_impossible: yes

question: The Islamic Prophet Muhammad carried out a siege against what tribe in February 624?
is_impossible: yes
context: The end of a treaty, the eschatocol (or closing protocol), is often signaled by a clause like "in witness whereof" or "in faith whereof," the parties have affixed their signatures, followed by the words "DONE at," then the site(s) of the treaty's execution and the date(s) of its execution. The date is typically written in its most formal, longest possible form. For example, the Charter of the United Nations was "DONE at the city of San Francisco the twenty-sixth day of June, one thousand nine hundred and forty-five." If the treaty is executed in multiple copies in different languages, that fact is always noted, and is followed by a stipulation that the versions in different languages are equally authentic.

qas: question: Whose signatures appear at the very end of a treaty?
answers: text: the parties' representatives
is_impossible: no

question: Where might the text of a treaty be reprinted?
answers: text: in a collection of treaties currently in effect
is_impossible: no

question: Who, upon reprinting, will often append the dates on which the treaty was ratified and came into effect?

is_impossible: yes

question: Convention, protocol, and agreement are examples of examples of different kinds of what that can create confusion about a treaty?
is_impossible: yes
context: The signatures of the parties' representatives follow at the very end.

qas: question: Bilateral treaties are concluded between how many states or entities?
answers: text: two
is_impossible: no

question: Is it possible for a bilateral treaty to have more than two parties?

is_impossible: no

question: Does the bilateral treaty between Switzerland and the European Union establish rights or obligations amongst the EU and its member states?
answers: text: it does not
is_impossible: no

question: The treaty between Switzerland and the European Union is an example of what kind of treaty?
answers: text: bilateral
is_impossible: no

question: How did international law originally respond to treaty reservations?
is_impossible: yes

question: What formed an important part of European colonization?
is_impossible: yes

question: What is the nature of the different versions of a treaty executed in multiple languages?
is_impossible: yes
context: Bilateral treaties are concluded between two states or entities. It is possible, however, for a bilateral treaty to have more than two parties; consider for instance the bilateral treaties between Switzerland and the European Union (EU) following the Swiss rejection of the European Economic Area agreement. Each of these treaties has seventeen parties. These however are still bilateral, not multilateral, treaties. The parties are divided into two groups, the Swiss ("on the one part") and the EU and its member states ("on the other part"). The treaty establishes rights and obligations between the Swiss and the EU and the member states severally—it does not establish any rights and obligations amongst the EU and its member states.[citation needed]

qas: question: What is a treaty concluded among several countries?
answers: text: A multilateral treaty
is_impossible: no

question: Between which parties does a multilateral treaty establish rights and obligations?
answers: text: each party and every other party
is_impossible: no

question: The Treaty of Locarno guarantees each signatory against what from another signatory?
answers: text: attack
is_impossible: no

question: What type of treaty is a mutual guarantee?
answers: text: international compacts

is_impossible: yes

question: Who, upon reprinting, will often append the dates on which the treaty was ratified and came into effect?
is_impossible: yes

question: What are agreements between states within the United States called?
is_impossible: yes
context: A multilateral treaty is concluded among several countries. The agreement establishes rights and obligations between each party and every other party. Multilateral treaties are often regional.[citation needed] Treaties of "mutual guarantee" are international compacts, e.g., the Treaty of Locarno which guarantees each signatory against attack from another.

qas: question: What are caveats to a state's acceptance of a treaty?
answers: text: Reservations
is_impossible: no

question: What are unilateral statements purporting to exclude or to modify the legal obligation and its effects on a state?
answers: text: Reservations
is_impossible: no

question: When must reservations be included in a treaty?
answers: text: at the time of signing or ratification
is_impossible: no

question: What are parties to a treaty forbidden to do after they have already joined a treaty?
answers: text: add a reservation
is_impossible: no

question: A reserving party to a treaty may include a statement that attempts to do what to its legal obligations or their effects?
answers: text: exclude or to modify
is_impossible: no

question: Treaties, executive agreements, congressional-executive agreements, and sole executive agreements are the same under international law but different with respect to what?
is_impossible: yes

question: What factor, in practice, allows a state to withdraw from any treaty at any time?
is_impossible: yes

question: In addition to the often long and protracted nature of treaty renegotiation, what negative outcome might result from the process?
is_impossible: yes
context: Reservations are essentially caveats to a state's acceptance of a treaty. Reservations are unilateral statements purporting to exclude or to modify the legal obligation and its effects on the reserving state. These must be included at the time of signing or ratification, i.e. "a party cannot add a reservation after it has already joined a treaty".

qas: question: A more permissive rule regarding what emerged to encourage the largest number of states to join treaties?
answers: text: reservations
is_impossible: no

question: Reservations are generally permitted so long as they are not what?
answers: text: inconsistent with the goals and purposes of the treaty
is_impossible: no

question: How did international law originally respond to treaty reservations?
answers: text: rejecting them
is_impossible: no

question: Originally reservations were rejected under international law unless which parties of the treaty accepted them?
answers: text: all parties
is_impossible: no

question: Because they are generally accepted under international law, a treaty must forbid reservations in what manner to prevent their adoption?
answers: text: expressly
is_impossible: no

question: Under what do all parties to a treaty recognize the provisions of the treaty are enforceable?
is_impossible: yes

question: What aspect of the treaties that indigenous people signed with Europeans did the indigenous people typically not understand?
is_impossible: yes

question: What, if it formed the "essential basis" of a state's consent to a treaty, may invalidate that consent?
is_impossible: yes
context: Originally, international law was unaccepting of treaty reservations, rejecting them unless all parties to the treaty accepted the same reservations. However, in the interest of encouraging the largest number of states to join treaties, a more permissive rule regarding reservations has emerged. While some treaties still expressly forbid any reservations, they are now generally permitted to the extent that they are not inconsistent with the goals and purposes of the treaty.

qas: question: When a state adds reservations to a treaty, other parties to the treaty can respond to those reservations in what ways?
answers: text: accept those reservations, object to them, or object and oppose them
is_impossible: no

question: Who remains unaffected when a party's reservation is accepted by a second party?
answers: text: other parties to the treaty
is_impossible: no

question: What happens to the parts of the treaty affected by a rejected reservation as they concern the reserving and rejecting parties?
answers: text: drop out completely
is_impossible: no

question: What legal obligations exist between two state parties if one objects and opposes the other's reservations?
answers: text: no legal obligations
is_impossible: no

question: If a state party objects and opposes another state's reservations it essentially refuses to acknowledge what?
answers: text: the reserving state is a party to the treaty
is_impossible: no

question: In addition to the preparatory work from the drafting and negotiation of a treaty, what might arbiters review when resolving a dispute over the interpretation of a treaty?
is_impossible: yes

question: What factor, in practice, allows a state to withdraw from any treaty at any time?
is_impossible: yes

question: The preamble of what states that treaties are a source of international law?
is_impossible: yes
context: When a state limits its treaty obligations through reservations, other states party to that treaty have the option to accept those reservations, object to them, or object and oppose them. If the state accepts them (or fails to act at all), both the reserving state and the accepting state are relieved of the reserved legal obligation as concerns their legal obligations to each other (accepting the reservation does not change the accepting state's legal obligations as concerns other parties to the treaty). If the state opposes, the parts of the treaty affected by the reservation drop out completely and no longer create any legal obligations on the reserving and accepting state, again only as concerns each other. Finally, if the state objects and opposes, there are no legal obligations under that treaty between those two state parties whatsoever. The objecting and opposing state essentially refuses to acknowledge the reserving state is a party to the treaty at all.

qas: question: How many ways are there to amend an existing treaty?
answers: text: three
is_impossible: no

question: What must state parties to a treaty repeat to adopt a formal amendment to the treaty?
answers: text: the ratification process
is_impossible: no

question: What amendment process is generally reserved for changes that rectify obvious errors in the text?
answers: text: a procès-verbal
is_impossible: no

question: Parties to an original treaty and an amended treaty are bound to what terms?
answers: text: the terms they both agreed upon
is_impossible: no

question: In addition to the often long and protracted nature of treaty renegotiation, what negative outcome might result from the process?
answers: text: some parties to the original treaty will not become parties to the amended treaty
is_impossible: no

question: How are the agreements in a treaty expressed?
is_impossible: yes

question: What do non-self-executing treaties typically require from a party to enable it to fulfill its obligations?
is_impossible: yes

question: Do parties to a treaty have an obligation to adopt a later protocol?
is_impossible: yes
context: There are three ways an existing treaty can be amended. First, formal amendment requires State parties to the treaty to go through the ratification process all over again. The re-negotiation of treaty provisions can be long and protracted, and often some parties to the original treaty will not become parties to the amended treaty. When determining the legal obligations of states, one party to the original treaty and one a party to the amended treaty, the states will only be bound by the terms they both agreed upon. Treaties can also be amended informally by the treaty executive council when the changes are only procedural, technical change in customary international law can also amend a treaty, where state behavior evinces a new interpretation of the legal obligations under the treaty. Minor corrections to a treaty may be adopted by a procès-verbal; but a procès-verbal is generally reserved for changes to rectify obvious errors in the text adopted, i.e. where the text adopted does not correctly reflect the intention of the parties adopting it.

qas: question: What is a treaty that supplements a previous treaty in international law?
answers: text: a protocol
is_impossible: no

question: A protocol may either amend a previous treaty or do what?
answers: text: add additional provisions
is_impossible: no

question: Do parties to a treaty have an obligation to adopt a later protocol?
answers: text: not required
is_impossible: no

question: What do we sometimes call an agreement that supplements a treaty especially when few parties to the treaty support the protocol?
answers: text: an "optional protocol"
is_impossible: no

question: A protocol may add additional provisions to a treaty or else do what?
answers: text: amend the previous treaty
is_impossible: no

question: North Korea and the United States have been characterized by a disagreement over one parties desire to create what with respect to security guarantees and nuclear proliferation?
is_impossible: yes

question: What happens to a multilateral treaty's rights and obligations among the other parties when just one party withdraws?
is_impossible: yes

question: What terms in relation to Europeans did most indigenous people enjoy under treaties?
is_impossible: yes
context: In international law and international relations, a protocol is generally a treaty or international agreement that supplements a previous treaty or international agreement. A protocol can amend the previous treaty, or add additional provisions. Parties to the earlier agreement are not required to adopt the protocol. Sometimes this is made clearer by calling it an "optional protocol", especially where many parties to the first agreement do not support the protocol.

qas: question: The Kyoto Protocol is associated with what treaty?
answers: text: United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
is_impossible: no

question: The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change was supplemented by what protocol?
answers: text: the Kyoto Protocol
is_impossible: no

question: The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change established a framework for the development of what?
answers: text: binding greenhouse gas emission limits
is_impossible: no

question: While the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change established a framework for developing greenhouse gas emission limits, the Kyoto Protocol contained what?
answers: text: the specific provisions and regulations later agreed upon
is_impossible: no

question: The agreement that contained specific provisions related to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is an example of what agreement that supplements a treaty?
answers: text: Protocol
is_impossible: no

question: Any treaty provision that conflicts with the US Constitution is considered what under US law?
is_impossible: yes

question: If a state party objects and opposes another state's reservations it essentially refuses to acknowledge what?
is_impossible: yes

question: In addition to signature and ratification, what legal procedure of the United Nations must all treaties follow after their adoption?
is_impossible: yes
context: Some examples: the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) established a framework for the development of binding greenhouse gas emission limits, while the Kyoto Protocol contained the specific provisions and regulations later agreed upon.

qas: question: A treaty that puts all of its obligations in action simply by becoming a party to it is known as what?
answers: text: self-executing
is_impossible: no

question: What do non-self-executing treaties typically require from a party to enable it to fulfill its obligations?
answers: text: implementing legislation
is_impossible: no

question: What is "implementing legislation" that is required by a party to a treaty to enable it to fulfill its obligations under the treaty?
answers: text: a change in the domestic law of a state party
is_impossible: no

question: A treaty requiring local prosecution by a party for particular crimes is an example of which type of treaty?
answers: text: non-self-executing
is_impossible: no

question: Signing a self-executing treaty automatically does what for a party?
answers: text: puts the treaty and all of its obligations in action
is_impossible: no

question: When are most of the problems created that might result in an otherwise valid treaty being rejected as a binding international agreement?
is_impossible: yes

question: Approval under what law will not make an act or lack thereof legal if condemned under international law?
is_impossible: yes

question: The international deal between the US, other countries, and what controversial nation is not a treaty?
is_impossible: yes
context: Treaties may be seen as 'self-executing', in that merely becoming a party puts the treaty and all of its obligations in action. Other treaties may be non-self-executing and require 'implementing legislation'—a change in the domestic law of a state party that will direct or enable it to fulfill treaty obligations. An example of a treaty requiring such legislation would be one mandating local prosecution by a party for particular crimes.

qas: question: What type of treaty cannot be acted on without the proper change in domestic law?
answers: text: a non-self-executing treaty
is_impossible: no

question: A state party may be in default of its obligations under a non-self-executing treaty if its legislature fails to do what?
answers: text: pass the necessary domestic laws
is_impossible: no

question: What institution of a party to a treaty must act to fulfill the party's obligations under a non-self-executing treaty?
answers: text: its legislature
is_impossible: no

question: The often unclear division between a self-executing treaty and a non-self-executing treaty can lead to a treaty being what if disagreements exist within a party?
answers: text: politicized
is_impossible: no

question: A treaty may be politicized due to disagreements within a party because the division between a self-executing treaty and a non-self-executing treaty can often be described as what?
answers: text: not clear
is_impossible: no

question: How must the full powers of a parties' representatives be found in order to enter into a treaty?
is_impossible: yes

question: In the United States, what is the ratio of executive agreements to treaties?
is_impossible: yes

question: A protocol may add additional provisions to a treaty or else do what?
is_impossible: yes
context: The division between the two is often not clear and is often politicized in disagreements within a government over a treaty, since a non-self-executing treaty cannot be acted on without the proper change in domestic law. If a treaty requires implementing legislation, a state may be in default of its obligations by the failure of its legislature to pass the necessary domestic laws.

qas: question: What principle is often invoked by legal experts when interpreting the language of treaties?
answers: text: principle of maximum effectiveness
is_impossible: no

question: The principle of maximum effectiveness interprets the language of treaties as having what effect to establish obligations between parties?
answers: text: the fullest force and effect
is_impossible: no

question: What states that treaties are to be interpreted "in good faith" according to the "ordinary meaning given to the terms of the treaty in their context and in light of its object and purpose?"
answers: text: The Vienna Convention
is_impossible: no

question: What property of treaties must often be interpreted when it's not clear?
answers: text: The language
is_impossible: no

question: Besides unclear language what might also arise that necessitates the interpretation of the language of a treaty?
answers: text: a perhaps unforeseen circumstance
is_impossible: no

question: With whom did Europeans attempt to sign treaties in order to legitimize their sovereignty during colonization?
is_impossible: yes

question: How did international law originally respond to treaty reservations?
is_impossible: yes

question: What other terms might be used to refer to a treaty?
is_impossible: yes
context: The language of treaties, like that of any law or contract, must be interpreted when the wording does not seem clear or it is not immediately apparent how it should be applied in a perhaps unforeseen circumstance. The Vienna Convention states that treaties are to be interpreted "in good faith" according to the "ordinary meaning given to the terms of the treaty in their context and in the light of its object and purpose." International legal experts also often invoke the 'principle of maximum effectiveness,' which interprets treaty language as having the fullest force and effect possible to establish obligations between the parties.

qas: question: No one party to a treaty can do what to the other parties?
answers: text: impose its particular interpretation of the treaty
is_impossible: no

question: What may be implied of other parties fail to explicitly disavow a party's initially unilateral interpretation of a treaty?
answers: text: Consent
is_impossible: no

question: Consent for a party's unilateral interpretation of a treaty may be implied if that state has acted upon its view of the treat without what from another party?
answers: text: complaint
is_impossible: no

question: Consent by all parties to a treaty to a particular interpretation of the treaty has what legal effect?
answers: text: adding another clause to the treaty
is_impossible: no

question: The legal effect of adding another clause to a treaty that occurs when all parties to a treaty consent to a particular interpretation of the treaty is commonly known as what?
answers: text: an 'authentic interpretation'
is_impossible: no

question: What follows the preamble in a treaty?
is_impossible: yes

question: The Islamic Prophet Muhammad carried out a siege against what tribe in February 624?
is_impossible: yes

question: In what treaty were the serial Japan-Korea treaties of 1905, 1907, and 1910 confirmed as "already null and void?"
is_impossible: yes
context: No one party to a treaty can impose its particular interpretation of the treaty upon the other parties. Consent may be implied, however, if the other parties fail to explicitly disavow that initially unilateral interpretation, particularly if that state has acted upon its view of the treaty without complaint. Consent by all parties to the treaty to a particular interpretation has the legal effect of adding another clause to the treaty – this is commonly called an 'authentic interpretation'.

qas: question: What are international tribunals and arbiters often called upon to resolve in regards to treaties?
answers: text: substantial disputes over treaty interpretations
is_impossible: no

question: What judicial bodies might be called upon to resolve disputes pertaining to the interpretation of treaties?
answers: text: International tribunals and arbiters
is_impossible: no

question: In addition to the final, signed treaty what else might arbiters review to establish the meaning of a treaty in context?
answers: text: the preparatory work from the negotiation and drafting of the treaty
is_impossible: no

question: For what purpose might an international tribunal review the preparatory work from the negotiation and drafting of a treaty?
answers: text: To establish the meaning in context
is_impossible: no

question: In addition to the preparatory work from the drafting and negotiation of a treaty, what might arbiters review when resolving a dispute over the interpretation of a treaty?
answers: text: the final, signed treaty itself
is_impossible: no

question: What type of legislative subjects can both the central legislative body and state legislatures make laws?
is_impossible: yes

question: What are started to be a source of international law in the preamble in The Law of Treaties?
is_impossible: yes

question: What must a party to a treaty do to prevent being held liable under international law?
is_impossible: yes
context: International tribunals and arbiters are often called upon to resolve substantial disputes over treaty interpretations. To establish the meaning in context, these judicial bodies may review the preparatory work from the negotiation and drafting of the treaty as well as the final, signed treaty itself.

qas: question: What are agreements between states within the United States called?
answers: text: compacts
is_impossible: no

question: What are agreements between states and the federal government called within the United States?

question: Under what do all parties to a treaty recognize the provisions of the treaty are enforceable?
answers: text: international law
is_impossible: no

question: What is an example of a treaty from which it is not possible to withdraw?

question: Approval under what law will not make an act or lack thereof legal if condemned under international law?
is_impossible: yes

question: The agreement that contained specific provisions related to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is an example of what agreement that supplements a treaty?
is_impossible: yes
context: One significant part of treaty making is that signing a treaty implies recognition that the other side is a sovereign state and that the agreement being considered is enforceable under international law. Hence, nations can be very careful about terming an agreement to be a treaty. For example, within the United States, agreements between states are compacts and agreements between states and the federal government or between agencies of the government are memoranda of understanding.

qas: question: Parties to a treaty may disagree over a desire to create an obligation under what?
answers: text: international law
is_impossible: no

question: Discussions between what two countries have been influence by one party's desire to create an obligation under international law?
answers: text: North Korea and the United States
is_impossible: no

question: Discussion between North Korea and the United States have been influenced by one party's desire to create obligations under international law with respect to what two topics?
answers: text: security guarantees and nuclear proliferation
is_impossible: no

question: North Korea and the United States have been characterized by a disagreement over one parties desire to create what with respect to security guarantees and nuclear proliferation?
answers: text: to create an obligation under international law
is_impossible: no

question: Who, upon reprinting, will often append the dates on which the treaty was ratified and came into effect?
is_impossible: yes

question: Who remains unaffected when a party's reservation is accepted by a second party?
is_impossible: yes

question: Both Ethiopia and Qing Dynasty China learned the intricacies of European diplomatic customs to mitigate what through treaties?
is_impossible: yes
context: Another situation can occur when one party wishes to create an obligation under international law, but the other party does not. This factor has been at work with respect to discussions between North Korea and the United States over security guarantees and nuclear proliferation.

qas: question: What is the Treaty of Waitangi internationally considered to be?

is_impossible: no

question: What other terms might be used to refer to a treaty?

is_impossible: no

question: What common terminological problem can sometimes lead to confusion surrounding a treaty?
answers: text: named something other than a treaty,
is_impossible: no

question: What's an example of a treaty that is considered internationally to be documents under domestic law?

is_impossible: no

question: Convention, protocol, and agreement are examples of examples of different kinds of what that can create confusion about a treaty?
answers: text: terminology
is_impossible: no

question: The bilateral treaties between Switzerland and the European Union followed the Swiss rejection of what?
is_impossible: yes

question: What must a party to a treaty do to prevent being held liable under international law?
is_impossible: yes

question: What state declared its intention to withdraw from the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights?
is_impossible: yes
context: The terminology can also be confusing because a treaty may and usually is named something other than a treaty, such as a convention, protocol, or simply agreement. Conversely some legal documents such as the Treaty of Waitangi are internationally considered to be documents under domestic law.

qas: question: Traditionally, what must a state do in order for an obligation to arise in international law?
answers: text: consent
is_impossible: no

question: What is the only barrier to withdrawal contained in many treaties?
answers: text: procedures of notification
is_impossible: no

question: Are treaties permanently binding upon the signatory parties?
answers: text: not necessarily
is_impossible: no

question: What treaty will terminate if the number of parties falls below 40 as a result of denunciations?
answers: text: the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs
is_impossible: no

question: Which article of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties provides that there is a presumption that treaties cannot be unilaterally denounced?
answers: text: Article 56
is_impossible: no

question: What did Ethiopians learn in order to use treaties to prevent a European power from overstepping their agreement?
is_impossible: yes

question: What distinguishes peremptory norms from other principles of customary law?
is_impossible: yes

question: A party's consent to a treaty is invalid if it had been given by an agent or body without power to do so under what?
is_impossible: yes
context: Treaties are not necessarily permanently binding upon the signatory parties. As obligations in international law are traditionally viewed as arising only from the consent of states, many treaties expressly allow a state to withdraw as long as it follows certain procedures of notification. For example, the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs provides that the treaty will terminate if, as a result of denunciations, the number of parties falls below 40. Many treaties expressly forbid withdrawal. Article 56 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties provides that where a treaty is silent over whether or not it can be denounced there is a rebuttable presumption that it cannot be unilaterally denounced unless:

qas: question: What is an example of a treaty from which it is not possible to withdraw?
answers: text: the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
is_impossible: no

question: What state declared its intention to withdraw from the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights?
answers: text: North Korea
is_impossible: no

question: Who, acting as registrar, informed North Korea that withdrawal was deliberately precluded by the original signatories of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights?
answers: text: the Secretary-General of the United Nations
is_impossible: no

question: What two factors determine whether it is possible to withdraw from a treaty?
answers: text: the terms of the treaty and its travaux preparatoire
is_impossible: no

question: The terms and travaux preparatoire of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights were both factors in determining what aspect of the treaty as it relates to North Korea's stated intentions?
answers: text: The possibility of withdrawal
is_impossible: no

question: What's an example of a treaty that is considered internationally to be documents under domestic law?
is_impossible: yes

question: What angel, according to Muslim tradition, ordered Muhammad to order a siege on the Banu Qurayza?
is_impossible: yes

question: Where might the text of a treaty be reprinted?
is_impossible: yes
context: The possibility of withdrawal depends on the terms of the treaty and its travaux preparatoire. It has, for example, been held that it is not possible to withdraw from the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. When North Korea declared its intention to do this the Secretary-General of the United Nations, acting as registrar, said that original signatories of the ICCPR had not overlooked the possibility of explicitly providing for withdrawal, but rather had deliberately intended not to provide for it. Consequently, withdrawal was not possible.

qas: question: What factor, in practice, allows a state to withdraw from any treaty at any time?
answers: text: sovereignty
is_impossible: no

question: What really determines whether withdrawal from a treaty is permitted?
answers: text: how other states will react
is_impossible: no

question: What might a state do in response to another state's withdrawal from a treaty?
answers: text: impose sanctions or go to war
is_impossible: no

question: Although withdrawal from a treaty may not be possible in theory, when might it be possible anyway?
answers: text: In practice
is_impossible: no

question: Because of sovereignty when may a state withdrawal from a treaty?
answers: text: at any time
is_impossible: no

question: The bilateral treaties between Switzerland and the European Union followed the Swiss rejection of what?
is_impossible: yes

question: How are the agreements in a treaty expressed?
is_impossible: yes

question: A party cannot base its claim of a fundamental change in circumstances if the change was brought about by what?
is_impossible: yes
context: In practice, because of sovereignty, any state can withdraw from any treaty at any time. The question of whether this is permitted is really a question of how other states will react to the withdrawal; for instance, another state might impose sanctions or go to war over a treaty violation.

qas: question: What happens to a state's obligations under a treaty upon its withdrawal from the treaty?
answers: text: terminated
is_impossible: no

question: What kind of treaty is terminated by the withdrawal of just one party?
answers: text: a bilateral treaty
is_impossible: no

question: What happens to a multilateral treaty's rights and obligations among the other parties when just one party withdraws?
answers: text: remain in force
is_impossible: no

question: After what action by a state are its obligations under a treaty considered terminated?
answers: text: withdrawal
is_impossible: no

question: Under what conditions could a single state's withdrawal result in the termination of a multilateral treaty?
answers: text: agreed upon between the remaining states parties
is_impossible: no

question: What do we sometimes call an agreement that supplements a treaty especially when few parties to the treaty support the protocol?
is_impossible: yes

question: What type of legislative subjects can both the central legislative body and state legislatures make laws?
is_impossible: yes

question: What, if it formed the "essential basis" of a state's consent to a treaty, may invalidate that consent?
is_impossible: yes
context: If a state party's withdrawal is successful, its obligations under that treaty are considered terminated, and withdrawal by one party from a bilateral treaty of course terminates the treaty. When a state withdraws from a multi-lateral treaty, that treaty will still otherwise remain in force among the other parties, unless, of course, otherwise should or could be interpreted as agreed upon between the remaining states parties to the treaty.[citation needed]

qas: question: What may be invoked as grounds for permanently terminating a treaty?
answers: text: A material breach
is_impossible: no

question: In addition to terminating the treaty itself, what actions by the other parties might result from one party materially violating or beaching its obligations?
answers: text: temporarily suspending their obligations to that party
is_impossible: no

question: In addition to suspending their obligations under a treaty to the violating party, what may result from a material breach of treaty obligations?
answers: text: terminating the treaty itself
is_impossible: no

question: Who may invoke a material breach committed by a party to a treaty to suspend their obligations to that party?
answers: text: the other parties
is_impossible: no

question: What temporary actions can parties of a treaty take in response to a material violation of a party's obligations?
answers: text: suspending their obligations to that party
is_impossible: no

question: What clause of the United States Constitution is relevant to the discussion of the relation between treaties and U.S. legislation?
is_impossible: yes

question: What legal document formed the basis of the pre-Constitutional Federal government of the United States?
is_impossible: yes

question: What must a party to a treaty do to prevent being held liable under international law?
is_impossible: yes
context: If a party has materially violated or breached its treaty obligations, the other parties may invoke this breach as grounds for temporarily suspending their obligations to that party under the treaty. A material breach may also be invoked as grounds for permanently terminating the treaty itself.

qas: question: What might a tribunal or an arbiter be asked to determine regarding a breach of a treaty?
answers: text: the seriousness of a breach
is_impossible: no

question: Using what to determine the seriousness of a breach can prevent a party from prematurely suspending its obligations due to another party's alleged material breach?
answers: text: a tribunal or other independent arbiter
is_impossible: no

question: Does a material breach necessarily suspend or terminate treaty relations?
answers: text: does not
is_impossible: no

question: What determines whether a breach automatically suspends or terminates treaty relations?
answers: text: how the other parties regard the breach and how they resolve to respond to it
is_impossible: no

question:  A treaty breach does not necessarily affect treaty relations depending on how serious the other parties view the breach and what other factor?
answers: text: how they resolve to respond to it
is_impossible: no

question: What aspect of the treaties that indigenous people signed with Europeans did the indigenous people typically not understand?
is_impossible: yes

question: In which centuries did a proliferation of secret treaties occur that led the United Nations Charter to include an obligation to register treaties to be invoked before it?
is_impossible: yes

question: What did Europeans try to legitimize all over the world by signing treaties with indigenous people?
is_impossible: yes
context: A treaty breach does not automatically suspend or terminate treaty relations, however. It depends on how the other parties regard the breach and how they resolve to respond to it. Sometimes treaties will provide for the seriousness of a breach to be determined by a tribunal or other independent arbiter. An advantage of such an arbiter is that it prevents a party from prematurely and perhaps wrongfully suspending or terminating its own obligations due to another's alleged material breach.

qas: question: Some treaties contains provisions for what to happen if certain defined conditions are met?
answers: text: self-termination
is_impossible: no

question: What provision might a treaty include if it's meant to be only temporarily binding?
answers: text: set to expire on a given date
is_impossible: no

question: In addition to passing an expiration date, what might cause a treaty to self-terminate?
answers: text: certain defined conditions are met
is_impossible: no

question: What happens to a treaty that was designed to terminate under certain conditions when those conditions are actually met?
answers: text: automatically terminated
is_impossible: no

question: What may we assume the parties to a treaty intended the treaty's obligations to be if the treaty included an expiration date?
answers: text: temporarily binding
is_impossible: no

question: Traditionally, what must a state do in order for an obligation to arise in international law?
is_impossible: yes

question: What do non-self-executing treaties typically require from a party to enable it to fulfill its obligations?
is_impossible: yes

question: Parties to an original treaty and an amended treaty are bound to what terms?
is_impossible: yes
context: Treaties sometimes include provisions for self-termination, meaning that the treaty is automatically terminated if certain defined conditions are met. Some treaties are intended by the parties to be only temporarily binding and are set to expire on a given date. Other treaties may self-terminate if the treaty is meant to exist only under certain conditions.[citation needed]

qas: question: What might result in a party to a treaty claiming a treaty should be terminated even absent an express provision for its termination?
answers: text: a fundamental change in circumstances
is_impossible: no

question: A party cannot base its claim of a fundamental change in circumstances if the change was brought about by what?
answers: text: its own breach of the treaty
is_impossible: no

question: The claim of a fundamental change in circumstances cannot be used to invalidate treaties that established or redrew what?
answers: text: political boundaries
is_impossible: no

question: The radical transformation of what aspect of the obligations between the parties is a necessary condition for a claim of a fundamental change in circumstances to terminate a treaty?
answers: text: the extent of obligations
is_impossible: no

question: In order to be considered a fundamental change, a change in circumstances must have been what at the time of the adoption of the treaty?
answers: text: unforeseen
is_impossible: no

question: An erroneous understanding of a fact or situation may only invalidate a state's consent to a treaty if what is also true about the erroneous understanding?
is_impossible: yes

question: What is a treaty that supplements a previous treaty in international law?
is_impossible: yes

question: What is required to invalidate a party's consent due to a reluctance to inquire into the internal affairs and processes of other states?
is_impossible: yes
context: A party may claim that a treaty should be terminated, even absent an express provision, if there has been a fundamental change in circumstances. Such a change is sufficient if unforeseen, if it undermined the “essential basis” of consent by a party, if it radically transforms the extent of obligations between the parties, and if the obligations are still to be performed. A party cannot base this claim on change brought about by its own breach of the treaty. This claim also cannot be used to invalidate treaties that established or redrew political boundaries.[citation needed]

is_impossible: yes

question: The Islamic Prophet Muhammad carried out a siege against what tribe in February 624?
is_impossible: yes
context: The Islamic Prophet Muhammad carried out a siege against the Banu Qaynuqa tribe known as the Invasion of Banu Qaynuqa in February 624  Muhammad ordered his followers to attack the Banu Qaynuqa Jews for allegedly breaking the treaty known as the Constitution of Medina by pinning the clothes of a Muslim woman, which led to her being stripped naked As a result, a Muslim killed a Jew in retaliation, and the Jews in turn killed the Muslim man. This escalated to a chain of revenge killings, and enmity grew between Muslims and the Banu Qaynuqa, leading to the siege of their fortress.:122 The tribe eventually surrendered to Muhammad, who initially wanted to kill the members of Banu Qaynuqa but ultimately yielded to Abdullah ibn Ubayy's insistence and agreed to expel the Qaynuqa.

is_impossible: yes

question: What determines whether a breach automatically suspends or terminates treaty relations?
is_impossible: yes

question: A party cannot base its claim of a fundamental change in circumstances if the change was brought about by what?
is_impossible: yes
context: Muhammad also ordered another siege on the Banu Qurayza during the Invasion of Banu Qurayza, because according to Muslim tradition he had been ordered to do so by the angel Gabriel. Al-Waqidi claims Muhammad had a treaty with the tribe which was torn apart. Stillman and Watt deny the authenticity of al-Waqidi. Al-Waqidi has been frequently criticized by Muslim writers, who claim that he is unreliable. 600-900 members of the Banu Qurayza were beheaded after they surrendered (according to Tabari and Ibn Hisham). Another source says all Males and 1 woman beheaded (according to Sunni Hadith). Two Muslims were killed

is_impossible: yes

question: What determines whether a breach automatically suspends or terminates treaty relations?
is_impossible: yes
context: There are several reasons an otherwise valid and agreed upon treaty may be rejected as a binding international agreement, most of which involve problems created at the formation of the treaty.[citation needed] For example, the serial Japan-Korea treaties of 1905, 1907 and 1910 were protested; and they were confirmed as "already null and void" in the 1965 Treaty on Basic Relations between Japan and the Republic of Korea.

question: Why are long sentences in a modern preamble formatted into multiple paragraphs?
is_impossible: yes

question: Nations can be careful about terming an agreement a treaty because it has the effect of recognizing that the other side is a what?
is_impossible: yes
context: A party's consent to a treaty is invalid if it had been given by an agent or body without power to do so under that state's domestic law. States are reluctant to inquire into the internal affairs and processes of other states, and so a "manifest violation" is required such that it would be "objectively evident to any State dealing with the matter". A strong presumption exists internationally that a head of state has acted within his proper authority. It seems that no treaty has ever actually been invalidated on this provision.[citation needed]

qas: question: If a state's representative ignored restrictions he is subject to by his sovereign, what might that state's consent to a treaty be considered to be?

question: The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change was supplemented by what protocol?
is_impossible: yes

question: What did Ethiopians learn in order to use treaties to prevent a European power from overstepping their agreement?
is_impossible: yes
context: Consent is also invalid if it is given by a representative who ignored restrictions he is subject to by his sovereign during the negotiations, if the other parties to the treaty were notified of those restrictions prior to his signing.[citation needed]

question: Does the bilateral treaty between Switzerland and the European Union establish rights or obligations amongst the EU and its member states?
is_impossible: yes

question: What type of norm is recognized as permitting no violations and so cannot be altered through treaty obligations?
is_impossible: yes

question: After what action by a state are its obligations under a treaty considered terminated?
is_impossible: yes
context: According to the preamble in The Law of Treaties, treaties are a source of international law. If an act or lack thereof is condemned under international law, the act will not assume international legality even if approved by internal law. This means that in case of a conflict with domestic law, international law will always prevail.

is_impossible: yes

question: What type of legislative subjects can both the central legislative body and state legislatures make laws?
is_impossible: yes

question: What are started to be a source of international law in the preamble in The Law of Treaties?
is_impossible: yes
context: Articles 46–53 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties set out the only ways that treaties can be invalidated—considered unenforceable and void under international law. A treaty will be invalidated due to either the circumstances by which a state party joined the treaty, or due to the content of the treaty itself. Invalidation is separate from withdrawal, suspension, or termination (addressed above), which all involve an alteration in the consent of the parties of a previously valid treaty rather than the invalidation of that consent in the first place.

is_impossible: yes

question: The international deal between the US, other countries, and what controversial nation is not a treaty?
is_impossible: yes

question: What are agreements between states within the United States called?
is_impossible: yes
context: A state's consent may be invalidated if there was an erroneous understanding of a fact or situation at the time of conclusion, which formed the "essential basis" of the state's consent. Consent will not be invalidated if the misunderstanding was due to the state's own conduct, or if the truth should have been evident.

is_impossible: yes

question: What did Ethiopians learn in order to use treaties to prevent a European power from overstepping their agreement?
is_impossible: yes
context: Consent will also be invalidated if it was induced by the fraudulent conduct of another party, or by the direct or indirect "corruption" of its representative by another party to the treaty. Coercion of either a representative, or the state itself through the threat or use of force, if used to obtain the consent of that state to a treaty, will invalidate that consent.

qas: question: What will a treaty be if it is in violation of a peremptory norm?
answers: text: null and void
is_impossible: no

question: Under what conditions could a single state's withdrawal result in the termination of a multilateral treaty?
is_impossible: yes

question: What aspect of the treaties that indigenous people signed with Europeans did the indigenous people typically not understand?
is_impossible: yes
context: The Brazilian federal constitution states that the power to enter into treaties is vested in the president and that such treaties must be approved by Congress (articles 84, clause VIII, and 49, clause I). In practice, this has been interpreted as meaning that the executive branch is free to negotiate and sign a treaty, but its ratification by the president is contingent upon the prior approval of Congress. Additionally, the Federal Supreme Court has ruled that, following ratification and entry into force, a treaty must be incorporated into domestic law by means of a presidential decree published in the federal register in order to be valid in Brazil and applicable by the Brazilian authorities.

question: Does the bilateral treaty between Switzerland and the European Union establish rights or obligations amongst the EU and its member states?
is_impossible: yes
context: The Federal Supreme Court has established that treaties are subject to constitutional review and enjoy the same hierarchical position as ordinary legislation (leis ordinárias, or "ordinary laws", in Portuguese). A more recent ruling by the Supreme Court in 2008 has altered that scheme somewhat, by stating that treaties containing human rights provisions enjoy a status above that of ordinary legislation, though they remain beneath the constitution itself. Additionally, as per the 45th amendment to the constitution, human rights treaties which are approved by Congress by means of a special procedure enjoy the same hierarchical position as a constitutional amendment. The hierarchical position of treaties in relation to domestic legislation is of relevance to the discussion on whether (and how) the latter can abrogate the former and vice versa.

qas: question: What kind of clause does the United States constitution have that the Brazilian constitution does not have with the same effects?

is_impossible: no

question: A treaty might be considered what if it's considered unenforceable and void under international law?
is_impossible: yes

question: Although withdrawal from a treaty may not be possible in theory, when might it be possible anyway?
is_impossible: yes

question: The principle of maximum effectiveness interprets the language of treaties as having what effect to establish obligations between parties?
is_impossible: yes
context: In the United States, the term "treaty" has a different, more restricted legal sense than exists in international law. United States law distinguishes what it calls treaties from executive agreement, congressional-executive agreements, and sole executive agreements. All four classes are equally treaties under international law; they are distinct only from the perspective of internal American law. The distinctions are primarily concerning their method of approval. Whereas treaties require advice and consent by two-thirds of the Senators present, sole executive agreements may be executed by the President acting alone. Some treaties grant the President the authority to fill in the gaps with executive agreements, rather than additional treaties or protocols. And finally, congressional-executive agreements require majority approval by both the House and the Senate, either before or after the treaty is signed by the President.

is_impossible: yes

question: In what cases did the US Supreme Court rule that treaties do not have a privileged position over Acts of Congress?
is_impossible: yes
context: Currently, international agreements are executed by executive agreement rather than treaties at a rate of 10:1. Despite the relative ease of executive agreements, the President still often chooses to pursue the formal treaty process over an executive agreement in order to gain congressional support on matters that require the Congress to pass implementing legislation or appropriate funds, and those agreements that impose long-term, complex legal obligations on the United States. For example, the deal by the United States, Iran and other countries is not a Treaty.

context: The Supreme Court ruled in the Head Money Cases that "treaties" do not have a privileged position over Acts of Congress and can be repealed or modified (for the purposes of U.S. law) by any subsequent Act of Congress, just like with any other regular law. The Supreme Court also ruled in Reid v. Covert that any treaty provision that conflicts with the Constitution are null and void under U.S. law.

In the normal legislation process, the subjects in Union list can only be legislated upon by central legislative body called Parliament of India, for subjects in state list only respective state legislature can legislate. While for Concurrent subjects, both center and state can make laws. But to implement international treaties, Parliament can legislate on any subject overriding the general division of subject lists.

question: What factor, in practice, allows a state to withdraw from any treaty at any time?
is_impossible: yes

question: Approval under what law will not make an act or lack thereof legal if condemned under international law?
is_impossible: yes
context: In some rare cases, such as with Ethiopia and Qing Dynasty China, the local governments were able to use the treaties to at least mitigate the impact of European colonization. This involved learning the intricacies of European diplomatic customs and then using the treaties to prevent a power from overstepping their agreement or by playing different powers against each other.

is_impossible: yes

question: What Brazilian institution has ruled that a treaty must be incorporated into domestic law by means of a presidential decree?
is_impossible: yes
context: In other cases, such as New Zealand and Canada, treaties allowed native peoples to maintain a minimum amount of autonomy. In the case of indigenous Australians, unlike with the Māori of New Zealand, no treaty was ever entered into with the indigenous peoples entitling the Europeans to land ownership, under the doctrine of terra nullius (later overturned by Mabo v Queensland, establishing the concept of native title well after colonization was already a fait accompli). Such treaties between colonizers and indigenous peoples are an important part of political discourse in the late 20th and early 21st century, the treaties being discussed have international standing as has been stated in a treaty study by the UN.

context: Prior to 1871, the government of the United States regularly entered into treaties with Native Americans but the Indian Appropriations Act of March 3, 1871 (ch. 120, 16 Stat. 563) had a rider (25 U.S.C. § 71) attached that effectively ended the President’s treaty making by providing that no Indian nation or tribe shall be acknowledged as an independent nation, tribe, or power with whom the United States may contract by treaty. The federal government continued to provide similar contractual relations with the Indian tribes after 1871 by agreements, statutes, and executive orders.
