The Half-Life of Treaties: Waitangi, Rebus Sic Stantibus.

The article shares the author's thoughts on the longevity and resilience of treaties. He stresses that no treaty is fit to be perpetual as in the case of applying the principle of rebus sic stantibus on the Treaty of Waitangi. He claims that the exploration of this treaty fills a gap on the work he has done on indigenous issues and on historic injustice. He asserts that the principle can also be seen as borrowing from contract law doctrines of frustration and impossibility.
