treaty violation

Breaking international agreement

A treaty violation is the breach of an agreement between nations or other sovereign entities.

One party fails to uphold its obligations under the treaty's terms—whether by acting against provisions or failing to act as required.

Treaty violations range from technical infractions to major breaches that threaten international stability: The weapons test was condemned as a clear treaty violation.
