To a first-order level, it's good to respect treaties insofar as they function as a Schelling point, ethical value aside(?).
That being said, the Assads have ruled Syria for about as long as said treaty has existed, though, no?
I suppose it depends upon whether treaties are generally made between governments, or between countries. Does the presence of the country override continuity of government, or can they functionally be tied to specific regimes or governments?
