Freeze unratified agreements, stop enforcing unratified treaties, revoke C-175

Mandate directs freezing unratified treaty/agreement work, standing down enforcement of unratified treaties, identifying ‘agreements’ that are really treaties for Senate referral, withdrawing stale treaties, and revoking most C-175 authorities delegated to other agencies.

Mandate

Mandate Ch. 6 (Department of State) — Righting the Ship: freeze efforts to implement unratified treaties/agreements and related spending/hiring pending political review; freeze ongoing treaty/international agreement negotiations; stand down enforcement of treaties not ratified by Senate; identify agreements that are really treaty commitments and suspend compliance pending Senate advice and consent; withdraw treaties pending 20+ years; revoke most outstanding C-175 authorities granted to other agencies.

Undo plan

1) Resume compliance with binding international obligations lawfully in force. 2) Use Case Act/congressional notification rather than blanket freezes that harm alliances. 3) Restore carefully scoped C-175 delegations needed for DHS/other operational diplomacy. 4) Transmit genuine treaties to Senate rather than killing cooperation by labeling. 5) Verify: treaty/agreement inventory; C-175 revocation list and operational impacts.
