Will weakening treaty provisions in nz law create more problems than it solves?

A treaty is like a special agreement between friends that helps them get along better, but if we change its rules to make them weaker, it might cause more trouble instead.

Treaty provisions are the specific promises in the agreement. In New Zealand, these can be thought of as rules for how people should behave when they're working together. If someone decides to weaken those rules, like letting a friend break their promise without consequences, that might seem easier at first. But it could lead to more problems later.

Imagine you and your friends have a rule on the playground: no pushing. That helps keep everyone safe and happy. Now, if someone says, "Let’s make the rule weaker, just no big pushes," it might seem fairer at first. But soon, people start pushing anyway, and things get messy again.

Weakening treaty provisions in New Zealand law could be like that, it might feel easier now, but it might cause more arguments or problems later on.
