Question in title. Just wondering as I saw France had proposed an initiative to withdraw because of the US’ shenanigans…

    The incredibly short treaty (I’m surprised the comments haven’t linked yet) lacks an expulsion provision. At best, per article 13, every other party may (with 1 year notice) withdraw from the treaty & join a new treaty excluding the party they want to expel. Article 8 prohibits parties of the treaty from entering “into any international engagement in conflict with this Treaty”.

    A unanimous agreement to change the treaty to enable expulsion is another possibility.
