  Munich Pact - MSN Encarta
The Munich Pact secured the acceptance by Britain and France of the demand by Adolf Hitler that the German-speaking Sudetenland, a region of Czechoslovakia, be ceded to Germany, which it bordered.
The pact, signed by Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain for Britain, Premier Édouard Daladier for France, Adolf Hitler for Germany, and Benito Mussolini for Italy, merely determined the conditions under which the cession should be made.
The Munich Pact, however, came to be a symbol of the dangers of appeasement.

  Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, also known as the Hitler-Stalin Pact or German-Soviet Nonaggression Pact or Nazi-Soviet Pact and formally known as the Treaty of Nonaggression between Germany and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, was a non-aggression treaty between the German Third Reich and the Soviet Union.
For the Soviet Union, the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact was a much-needed response to the deterioration of the European security situation in the latter half of the 1930s, as Nazi Germany, aligned with Fascist Italy in the Axis Powers, aimed to reverse the disadvantageous Treaty of Versailles after World War I.
The reluctance of the western democracies to form an anti-fascist alliance with the USSR, and France and the United Kingdom's pact with Hitler signed at Munich, was indicative of a lack of interest from the side of the West to oppose the growing fascist movement, already exemplified by the events of the Spanish Civil War.

 Non-aggression pact - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A non-aggression pact is an international treaty between two or more states, agreeing to avoid war or armed conflict between them and resolve their disputes through peaceful negotiations.
The most famous is the 1939 Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact between the Soviet Union and Germany, which lasted until the 1941 German invasion of the Soviet Union in Operation Barbarossa.
As of this date, however, a nonaggression treaty between the two has yet to be formulated.

The reticence of the western democracies to form an anti-fascist alliance with the USSR, and France and Britain's pact with Hitler signed at Munich, was indicative of a lack of interest from the side of the West to oppose the growing fascist movement, already exemplified by the events of the Spanish Civil War.
Defenders of the Soviet position argue that the Soviet Union entered the non-aggression pact after the September 1938 Munich Agreement had made it evident that the western democracies were pursuing a policy of appeasement and were not interested in joining the Soviet Union in an anti-fascist alliance promoted through their popular front tactic.

In contrast, workers from the nonaggressive pairs "commonly walked [through the shared area] in a file from one nest to the other," says Holway.

During the night of August 23-24 an agreement was reached on all points; the pact and a secret protocol were signed; a celebration party followed in which the participants drank toasts to each other, to German-Soviet friendship and to the absent Hitler.
The nonaggression pact, which was published, provided that Germany and the Soviet Union would not attack the other or assist any third power at war with the other, thereby assuring each of the neutrality of the other party should either decide to attack a third country.
The pact was to last for ten years and then an additional five years unless a notice of termination were given a year before its expiration.

 The Warsaw Pact
The issue of an appropriate Warsaw Pact response to NATO's 1983 deployment of American Pershing II and cruise missiles, matching the Soviet SS-20s, proved to be the most divisive one for the Soviet Union and its East European allies in the early and mid-1980s.
The Soviets concluded that this outcome proved that the Warsaw Pact truly embodied the "fundamental long-term interests of the fraternal countries." The decision to leave the Warsaw Pact unamended was probably the easiest alternative for the Soviet Union and its allies; the alliance was renewed for another twenty-year term with an automatic ten-year extension.
The Warsaw Pact's lack of a wartime command structure independent of the Soviet command structure is clear evidence of the subordination of the NSWP armies to the Soviet Army.

 The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and the Baltic States: An Introduction and Interpretation
The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact of 23 August was formally a nonaggression treaty, similar to the 1926 treaties of nonaggression signed between the Soviet Union and Germany, as well as the pacts concluded between the USSR and its western neighbors during the interwar period.
Unlike numerous other nonaggression treaties and guarantees that proliferated in Europe during the 1920s and 1930s, the pact between Hitler and Stalin was concluded with the expectation that it would facilitate war, not prevent it.
While the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact provided for the destruction of Poland, the hastily negotiated provisions of the secret protocol had to be modified in view of the rapid advance of the German armies in September 1939.

 America's Debate > Europe proposes Nonaggression Pact
It seems to me that the current state of negotiations are souring or had already soured long ago and as Iran has no intention to agree to such a pact and with their new president they will probably finally openly admit this so they will use the failed negotiations as a smokescreen.
After the Iranian election I am sure the EU realized that their hopes and dreams for a new modern Iran through political and democratic means was not going to happen so they asked to postpone all agreements and negotiations they made mos ago until the new president was sworn in.
They took US investment and security for granted and built their social infrastructures to (and in some cases beyond), the breaking point and at the same time arrogantly looked down at the hard work the Americans were stuck doing as the "world's policeman".

The Associated Press The Kremlin said Saturday that the 1939 Hitler-Stalin pact between the Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union that divided much of Eastern Europe can only be re-evaluated historically, indicating Moscow does not support annulling the treaty.
Estonian President Arnold Ruutel raised expectations that the Kremlin would renounce the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact during this year's 60th anniversary celebrations of the Nazi defeat in World War II -- a symbolic move long sought by the three Baltic nations placed in the Soviet sphere of control under the secret treaty.
Peskov said that "from the Russian point of view, the best step in the development of Russian-Estonian relations would be the signing of a political declaration on the fundamentals of relations and a border delineation treaty" during the 60th anniversary celebrations.
