Paragraph 2 of Article 25 creates the possibility that a Country opposes the revocation or annulment of a treaty, but again only with regard to its own territory, leaving the Kingdom free to revoke the treaty for the other Country or Countries, if the treaty in question allows such a partial revoke- ment.113 It was obviously not possible for the Kingdom to agree to the pro- posed mid-term revision of the OCT Decision while leaving the 1991 Decision intact with regard to the Caribbean Countries.
There is of course one situation in which a veto similar to Article 25 could be exercised by the Caribbean Countries without dragging the whole Kingdom along with it.
