Agreed! I’d be curious to know if the natsec experts that you’ve engaged with would recommend other international law instruments that do not require ratification.
This presentation by UNECE actually does a decent job at providing straight-forward explanations for what a Treaty is, differences with Conventions, Charters, declarations… (In case anyone following this thread finds it useful).
Personally, I am more concerned about avoiding agreement terms or definitions that are too easy to game- specially if the chosen legal instrument requires transposition into national law (e.g.: to make it binding in the EU, having to pass a regulation).
