If a state fails to live up to its side of the bargain by sponsoring terrorism, either transferring or using weapons of mass destruction, or conducting genocide, then it forfeits the normal benefits of sovereignty and opens itself up to attack, removal, or occupation. The diplomatic challenge for this era is to gain widespread support for principles of state conduct and a procedure for determining remedies when these principles are violated.
因此，我们对主权的尊重必须符合相应的条件，甚至要赋予它契约的性质，而不能是绝对无条件的。如果国家没有遵守自己的承诺，支持恐怖主义、转移或使用大规模杀伤性武器、或实行种族灭绝，那就要剥夺它作为主权国的一切权益，如果它首先破坏契约，就可以受到攻击、铲除和占领。这个时代我们所面临的外交挑战是为国家行为准则和准则遭到破坏后的补救办法争取最广泛的支持。
