Myself, I'd prefer there were an international authority that actually could enforce international treaties. The fact that there isn't is all that lets nations renege on agreements-if you do that personally the other party(ies) can appeal to the government which will either force you to uphold your end or punish you for failing to do so. I guess what we need is a world government but I just don't see that becoming reality in my lifetime.
