February 5, 2026 Dave DeCamp, AntiWar.com. Educate! New START Treaty, Nuclear Weapons, Russia, Treaties

The Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that it believes the US and Russia are no longer bound by New START, the last remaining nuclear arms control treaty between the two powers, which is set to expire on Thursday. “In the current circumstances, we assume that the Parties to the New START are no longer bound by any obligations or symmetrical declarations in the context of the Treaty, including its core provisions, and are in principle free to choose their next steps,” the ministry said in a statement issued on Telegram on Wednesday, the day before the treaty officially expires.

White House Orders ‘Immediate’ US Withdrawal From 66 International Organizations

January 8, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. Educate! Donald Trump, International Relations, Isolation, Treaties

US President Donald Trump signed a memorandum on 7 January 2026 directing the withdrawal of his country from dozens of international organizations, conventions, and UN bodies deemed “contrary to the interests of the United States.” The memorandum was addressed to the heads of executive departments and agencies and invokes presidential authority under the Constitution and US law to order immediate action. Trump tied the move directly to Executive Order 14199, issued on 4 February 2025, which ordered a sweeping review of US participation in all international intergovernmental organizations and treaties.

Blatant Attacks On International Law Are Nothing New For The US

July 28, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. Educate! Bipartisan, Donald Trump, Multilateralism, Treaties, US Imperialism

The Donald Trump administration has launched many frontal attacks on multilateral organizations and international law. However, these clear violations of international law are nothing new for US presidents. Opposition to multilateralism has been a bipartisan feature of US politics for many decades. In February, Trump withdrew the United States from the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC), repeating an action he had done back in 2018, during his first term. The Trump administration also attacked the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), and announced that he had cut US funding for both UNRWA and the UNHRC.

Holding The Weapons Industry Responsible For War Crimes

May 13, 2025 Colonel (ret) Ann Wright, Popular Resistance. Resist! Accountability, Treaties, War crimes, weapons

On May 8, 2025, I was honored to speak at the Oxford Union Debates on the topic: “This House Would Hold The Arms Industry Responsible for War Crimes.” My partner speaking in favor of the motion was Katie Gallagher, an excellent attorney with the remarkable Center for Constitutional Rights. The following is my presentation at the Oxford Union debates. At the end of the debate, with Katie and me speaking in favor of the motion and two persons arguing against the motion, twice as many of the Oxford Union students voted that the weapons industry should be responsible for war crimes if their weapons are used in committing war crimes.

Kashmir And The Indus River

April 30, 2025 Craig Murray, Consortium News. Educate! False Flag, India, Narendra Modi, Pakistan, Treaties, Water

India’s Hindutva president, Narendra Modi, has used the Kashmir terrorism incident to abrogate the 1960s Indus Waters Treaty — a longstanding goal of Modi. The Indian version of the “terrorist attack,” most of whose victims were Muslim, has largely been accepted by Western governments without evidence. False flags abound nowadays. You may recall that we were told that the most deadly rocket ever fired by Hamas killed only Palestinians in a hospital compound, while the most deadly rocket ever fired by Hezbollah killed only Druze children. I have at present an open mind about what occurred in Kashmir.

Change The Conversation From Doomsday To Peace Day

January 24, 2025 Alice Slater, Peace and Planet News. Strategize! NATO, Nuclear Weapons, Treaties, Wars and Militarism

The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, with the advice of Albert Einstein and other scientists from the Manhattan Project who developed the atomic bomb, established a Doomsday Clock, in 1947 to illustrate the annihilating danger the earth has faced since the creation of the diabolical nuclear bomb. At that time, the clock was set at 7 minutes to midnight, their estimate of how much time we had left before nuclear war would wreak catastrophic devastation on our planet and all living things in existence. Over the years, the hands of the clock have been reset, forward and backward, as scientists and policy makers estimated how immediate the nuclear danger loomed.

The Maori People’s Ongoing Battle For Self-Determination

People within the Indigenous Māori community of “New Zealand” have been protesting a racist bill that was recently introduced by that country’s right-wing government. On Nov. 14, Minister of Regulation David Seymour introduced a bill known as the “Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi Bill” or the “Treaty Principles Bill.” The controversial bill would reopen a historic treaty, signed in 1840, known to the Māori people as “Te Tiriti o Waitangi,” commonly referred to as the “Treaty of Waitangi.” The binding agreement is part of New Zealand’s national Constitution, and it features terms and conditions that grant land rights and special recognition to the Māori people.

Global Indigenous Leaders Condemn New Zealand Treatment Of Māori

September 11, 2024 Indigenous Environmental Network. Resist! Indigenous Rights, Maori, New Zealand, Treaties

A collective of global Indigenous leaders and environmentalists have expressed their extreme concern regarding the Treaty Principles Bill as the New Zealand government presents it to the cabinet. They express their solidarity with Māori and call upon the government to act in good faith and with respect for the treaty “upon which the legitimacy of their existence rests”, Te Tiriti o Waitangi. The statement of solidarity was endorsed at the Protecting Mother Earth Conference, held by The Indigenous Environmental Network and supported by the Indigenous embassy Tonatierra in Eastern Cherokee Nation (co-existent with North Carolina) 1-4 August 2024.

Canada Owes First Nations Billions After Making ‘Mockery’ Of Treaty Deal

An “egregious” refusal by successive Canadian governments to honor a key treaty signed with Indigenous nations made a “mockery” of the deal and deprived generations of fair compensation for their resources, Canada’s top court has ruled. But while the closely watched decision will likely yield billions in payouts, First Nation chiefs say the ruling adds yet another hurdle in the multi-decade battle for justice. In a scathing and unanimous decision released on Friday, Canada’s supreme court sharply criticized both the federal and Ontario governments for their “dishonourable” conduct around a 174-year-old agreement, which left First Nations people to struggle in poverty while surrounding communities, industry and government exploited the abundant natural resources in order to enrich themselves.

We Are A Nation

January 3, 2024 Charmaine White Face (Zumila Wobaga), Popular Resistance. Educate! Indigenous Peoples, Sioux Nation, Sovereignty, Treaties

When I was a child, my grandmother, Maggie, always called the United States (US), the ‘enemy.’ She was the one who taught me who I was as Oglala Tituwan Oceti Sakowin (AKA Sioux), and also about the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868. At first I didn’t understand why she called the US the ‘enemy’. All three of her children, including my father, had been in the military service during World War II, and her husband, my grandpa, had served during World War I. But as I got older and heard the stories about the boarding schools, about the Wounded Knee Massacre, and experienced racism myself on the first day of first grade, I finally started learning what exactly she meant.

President Biden Can’t ‘Heal The Nation’

September 21, 2022 Charmaine White Face, Popular Resistance. Educate! American genocide, Indigenous Sovereignty, Joe Biden, Treaties

President Joe Biden makes me laugh. One would think at his age, he would know that you can't heal a major illness, or wound, until you start at the source. I am referring to his continually saying, "We have to heal the soul of the United States (U.S.)." That's never going to happen until the powers-that-be, including President Biden, begin to heal the original illness, or wound, as you wish, which is the mistreatment and injustice they continue to give to the Original Nations, the American Indian Nations who are us. Some call it Karma. We call it the circle. Whoa!! No one wants to think about that let alone verbalize such an idea. Yet, that is precisely what the 1894 Sioux Nation Treaty Council has been doing for the past few years through letters to President Biden. He has been given the opportunity to "heal" the U.S. What is his response? The first year, there was NO response. So another letter was sent.

Despite Oceans ‘In Crisis,’ Global Treaty Talks Falter

March 23, 2022 Andrea Germanos, Common Dreams. Create! climate crisis, Environment, Oceans, Treaties

In the wake of collapsed U.N.-backed talks, ocean defenders this week are urging global governments to reach a robust treaty by year's end to safeguard the world's high seas from exploitation and the climate crisis. "Government promises to protect at least a third of the world's oceans by 2030 are already coming off the rails," Will McCallum of Greenpeace's Protect the Oceans campaign said in a statement Monday. A failure to reach a Global Ocean Treaty in 2022 would mean "no way to create ocean sanctuaries in international waters to allow them to achieve that 30×30 goal," he said. "This treaty is crucial because all of us rely on the oceans: from the oxygen they give to the livelihoods and food security they provide."

Support For Nuclear Ban Treaty Is Rising

September 26, 2021 John Letman, Truthout. Resist! Nuclear Ban Treaty, Nuclear Weapons, Treaties, Wars and Militarism

Nuclear tensions and nuclear spending are on the rise, but the elevated danger of nuclear weapons is overshadowed as other urgent global threats from the COVID pandemic, climate and environmental emergencies, and other urgent crises dominate news headlines. The United Nations Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), which entered into force in January, receives scant media attention, even as the United Nations prepares to mark September 26 as the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons. Unlike other nuclear treaties and agreements, the TPNW, or nuclear ban treaty as it is also known, prohibits all activity including development, testing, production, acquisition, possession, stockpiling, and the use or threat to use nuclear weapons.

Treaties Offer New Aid In Environmental Fights

June 6, 2021 Mary Annette Pember, Indian Country Today. Strategize! climate crisis, Indigenous Rights, Pipelines, Treaties

Native treaty rights are becoming powerful tools for protecting the environment against government mismanagement and destructive private industries, as worldwide efforts intensify to halt climate change and protect the environment . With the right to hunt, fish and gather on lands ceded to the federal government, treaties also offer growing leverage on state and federal governments to ensure the health of the habitats upon which those rights were granted. “Tribes exercising treaty rights is not a one-sided thing,” said Paul DeMain, citizen of the Oneida and Ojibwe tribes and a board member of Honor the Earth, an Indigenous environmental advocacy organization. “Non-Native citizens also benefit from natural resources being protected and preserved for tribal subsistence hunting, gathering and fishing.” Treaty rights are already surfacing in the fight against

For The Nez Perce, A Proposed Gold Mine Is A Symbol Of Broken Promises

May 31, 2021 Marcie Carter, In These Times. Educate! Gold Mining, Indigenous Rights, Treaties, US Imperialism

As a citizen of the Nez Percé, or Nimíipuu, which means the People, I look at gold mining as a symbol of broken promises. In 1855, when my ancestors entered into a treaty with the United States, we ceded millions of acres in what eventually became Idaho, Oregon and Washington. In exchange we reserved an exclusive homeland and rights to fish, hunt, gather and pasture throughout our vast aboriginal territory. Then in 1860 gold was discovered, and thousands of prospectors flooded across our borders in violation of the treaty, damaging our sacred places and natural resources and causing unspeakable injury to our people. The United States failed to uphold the terms of the 1855 Treaty and instead forced the Nez Percé to enter into a new treaty in 1863.
