derogation clause

derogation clause. Int’l law. A reservation in a treaty allowing a signator to refuse to comply with certain provisions. • For example, a signator may be allowed to suspend some or all of its treaty obligations during a war or other national emergency. If a treaty lacks an express derogation clause, then general principles governing suspension or termination of treaties apply.
