Objectivity
The introduction is not objective, the dispute over Guantanamo Bay is a legitimate debate with two distinct positions, Cuba says the U.S has no right to Guantanamo Bay under the 1903 agreement, the U.S says the agreement is still valid. It is not within the scope of an article to make statements from a third perspective supporting either side such as - "However, this article declares a treaty void only if its conclusion has been procured by the threat or use of force in violation of international law". This should be changed to at the very least, "the U.S claims however, that as the article declares the treaty void only if its conclusion has been procured by the threat or use.. etc, the 1903 agreement is valid". 86.138.199.188 11:18, 10 September 2006 (UTC)blank_frackis 10/09/2006
