The conference on the legal status of the ABM Treaty: law, politics, and the ABM Treaty
Article Abstract:
This article discusses the issue of the succession of the former Soviet Union and how this pertains to the legal status of the Anti-Ballistic Missiles Treaty signed by the U.S. and the Soviet Union in 1972. The author stresses that the issue confronting the president of the U.S. is one of policy more than law, and considers whether the president should build a National Missile Defense system compliant with the Treaty, renegotiate the Treaty, or withdraw from it; the latter two would required an executive order, and the president has the final voice in foreign policy issues.
