Your honor,

I apologize for my contribution to the disorderly state of this thread, but I feel I must reply once more; I will remain brief. The Petitioner, in his response to sandaoguo's brief, states that "treaty dissolution should be considered a lesser power of treaty ratification". This does not follow - neither by strictly interpreting the words according to the Merriam-Webster English dictionary, nor by cursory online search of treaty legalities in other governments. Ratification is a process to formally confirm, while dissolution is a process to terminate or break apart; these are obviously disjunctive terms and as such the Petitioner's claim in that section is invalid.

Thank you,
