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: (international) agreement, protocol, covenant, convention, exchange of letters, etc. Regardless of the terminology, all of these international agreements under international law are equally treaties and the rules are the same. (Note that in United States constitutional law, the term "treaty" has a special meaning which is more restricted than its meaning in international law; see below.) Treaties can be loosely compared to contracts: both are means of willing parties assuming obligations among themselves, and a party to either that fails to live up to their obligations can be held liable under international law. The central principle of treaty law is expressed in the maxim pacta sunt servanda—"pacts must be respected". The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties has codified the customary international law on treaties, entering into force in 1980. States that have not ratified it yet may still recognize it as binding in as much as it is a restatement of customary law. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License Does the EU LISBON TREATY mean that the UK can no longer start wars? Q. Hi! just wanted to know if the lisbon treaty means the UK wont be able to take our troops over to like...Israel and start a war... because i heard that the treaty means we give more power to the EU... but does that mean we cant send troops over to other countries? or does the EU take control of that to?

The EU does have an army, made up of forces from across Europe, so whilst the EU does not have control over the UK army, it does control those within its own armed forces. We'll still be able to start wars if we so wish.

Q. How well did the Treaty of Versailles address the causes of World War I? Did the treaty include any of Wilson s ideals as expressed in his Fourteen Points? Asked by alexandra c - Fri Nov 16 16:06:34 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. The Treaty of Versailles didn't address any of the causes; it was a massive revenge tactic perpetrated by Britain and France against Germany. The only one of Wilson's 'Points' that was included was the formation of the League of Nations, and he had to agree to making Germany pay ALL war reparations to get that. This is actually the cause of the Great Depression because Germany eventually had to default, forcing Britain and France to default on loans given them by the US during the war.
