 Indefinite Extension of the Nonproliferation Treaty Isn't a Sure Thing
The sober European estimate of the treaty's prospects seems to be based on a better appreciation of the weakness of the arguments.
The vast majority of states are well served by the nonproliferation regime and regard the treaty as important, but their calculations with respect to indefinite extension vary.
Many fear that once the treaty is extended indefinitely they will lose the little leverage they still have to ensure that the nuclear states comply with their obligations under Articles 4 and 6 to reduce their arsenals and permit transfer of peaceful nuclear technology.

 Environmentalists Against War
NEW YORK (21-23 September 2005) — Article XIV of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) states that if the Treaty has not entered into force three years after the date of the anniversary of its opening for signature, a conference may be held upon the request of a majority of ratifying States.
To date, 33 out of the 44 States listed in Annex 2 to the Treaty, whose ratification is required for the entry into force of the CTBT have ratified the Treaty, including three nuclear-weapon States (France, Russia Federation and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland).
The Treaty is an effective measure of nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation, and its early entry into force would be an important contribution to international peace and security.

 The Treaty of Versailles and its Consequences
The Versailles Treaty did little to shape any sort of long-term peace from the results of World War I. Instead, the treaty, hastily put together, was vague, exposed the Allies’ inability to cooperate toward an agreement, and fueled German nationalism from resentment over her treatment by the Allies in the treaty.
The Treaty presented to the German delegates at Versailles was a harsh break from the promise of a treaty based on Wilson’s “Fourteen Points.” The Germans felt betrayed by the treaty presented to them and resented the manner in which the Allied Powers were treating them.
She argues here that the reluctance to enforce the treaty, rather than the treaty terms themselves, was the main cause of the treaty’s failure.

 Clinton Pressed to Sign International Criminal Court Treaty
The treaty authorises the creation of a permanent independent judicial body to investigate and prosecute individuals alleged to have committed serious crimes under international law, including genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes.
In fact, given the strong opposition to the treaty on the part of Helms and the Republican leadership - as well as President-elect George W. Bush's own statements against it during the election campaign - chances of Senate ratification are considered nil over the next four years.
Treaty supporters also argue that Clinton's signature would be an important symbolic gesture that, in the words of the New York Times, would ''encourage eventual ratification and maintain Washington's global leadership in human rights and efforts to bring international criminals to justice''.

 NRDC: The Bush-Putin Treaty: An Orwellian Approach to Nuclear Arms Control
The treaty imposes no additional limits on either side's nuclear forces, and does not require the destruction of a single nuclear warhead, missile, silo, bomber or submarine.
Moreover, the treaty does nothing to constrain or eliminate large stockpiles of nonstrategic, or tactical, nuclear weapons deliverable by shorter-range systems, such as cruise missiles, battlefield missiles, artillery, torpedoes and tactical aircraft.
Finally, the treaty's lack of detailed binding limitations and inspection protocols will do nothing to dissuade other countries from concluding that they, too, must prepare to live in a nuclear-armed world for the indefinite future.

In January 1654 in the City of Pereyaslav, Bohdan Khmelnycky convened a Cossack council, summoning the officers' corps from generals to colonels, to ratify the protectorate of the Russian czar.
Many renowned Ukrainian historians and scholars have concluded that this treaty brought Ukraine no good and much ill. Because of this treaty Ukraine lost its independence and suffered a multitude of wrongs which lasted 337 years - enslavement, deportation and exile, terror, amines, the deprivation of the Ukrainian language.
It is imperative to conclude that the Pereyaslav Treaty was not a "voluntary reunification" but the beginning of a long period of enslavement of Ukraine by Russia.

The provisions of the Treaty, particularly article VIII, paragraph 3, envisage a review of the operation of the Treaty every five years, a provision which was reaffirmed by the States parties at the 1995 NPT Review and Extension Conference.
