One of the more common themes in law is that there is no such thing as a law or treaty that can't be revoke or overturned. In the US, a treaty may be renounced either by the president or by congress. Both methods have been used and upheld by the courts (actually the Supreme Court simply rejects any suit challenging such a move as a political, not a legal question).
For some reason, a lot of people seem to have the idea that it's one man, one vote, one time, but that's never been the case. Treaties last as long as they are useful and no longer.
