| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Moratorium, as a postponement or suspension of an activity, is widely used as a middle ground between YES and NO in the international legal arena, which reflects the value of compromise and cooperation in international intercourse. Moratorium in international legal setting is considered an option where countries are unable to perform their obligations for a reasonable time period, or an extraordinary situation requires countries to take exceptional measures or countries deem it necessary or indispensable for achieving some policy goals. The special values of moratoria shed light on difficult and complex issues to be addressed by States. |
