International treaties can hold to an extent. The greatest damage will be its internal use. Where countries can tell others to 'not interfere' in local business. Each country will run its own nefarious program and it will take a violent revolution to overthrow governments - and the next one will pick up the AI baton where the previous one left with a slogan of 'making sure no one does what the previous govt did'. So instead of an international global AI issue we will have strong national AI abuse. In either case, democracy will be put under strain.
