rebus sic stantibus... a principle in international law according to which all international treaties and agreements are presumed to be valid and must be observed to the letter unless some important changes take place as to the parties to the treaties or agreements, or the subject matter(e. g., if an existing agreement is considered illegal or if any party to the treaty, a state, disintegrates or becomes conquered). 3, record 3, English, - clausula%20rebus%20sic%20stantibus

Certains affirment qu'il existe dans tout traité une clause tacite d'après laquelle le traité ne demeure obligatoire que tant que les choses restent en l'état. Ils invoquent à l'appui le principe : «omnis conventio intelligitur rebus sic stantibus».
