Please note that the correct spelling would be "Statu quo" instead of "Status quo" in all latin-formed phrases because the original sentence in 19th diplomatic latin is "in statu quo res erant ante bellum" (in the state things were before the war).
The "wrong" phrase "status quo" is a subsequent adaptation of the correct sentence.
