| Apr 8 at 20:39 | comment | added | Barmar | Practically everything in international relations depends on voluntary adherence to conventions and norms. There's no real law other than the law of the jungle. The UN has no teeth, nothing is forcing NATO members to follow Article 5, etc. | |
| Apr 8 at 20:36 | comment | added | Barmar | In a word where rules don't apply, the answer could simply be "they can't." But they're certainly not going to say that when (if?) these negotiations are completed. | |
| Apr 8 at 20:32 | comment | added | sfxedit | While past precedents could be great examples, I am also not sure how well it applies to a world where the "rules" of the "rules based order" is no longer applicable. And even as we speak, the "ceasefire" is going to come to abrupt end because Israel has already violated it. | |
| Apr 8 at 18:59 | comment | added | Barmar | In other words, do you think there's a difference between how this will end and how past hostilities like the Korean War and Afghanistan were handled? Realize that the Korean War has technically never been ended, we're sill in a decades-long armistice. | |
| Apr 8 at 18:57 | comment | added | Barmar | I do address the general idea of assurances and enforcement in the rest of the answer. I don't think it's necessary to get specific to this particular agreement, they'll likely just do it the way past international treaties have been handled. | |
| Apr 8 at 17:16 | comment | added | sfxedit | It seems premature at this time to speculate on the precise ways in which any of the provisions will be enforced - I am not asking for speculation on how the US-Iran negotiation will go, but whether there exists any diplomatic measures or negotiating tactics that can reasonably assure a party that some term(s) it insists on will be reasonably enforced (in this particular scenario, that hostilities will cease "permanently", meaning at least that initiation of the war again will carry some cost for the aggressor so as to dissuade them to consider such an option). | |
