12 After the ICJ had decided the Avena case and after the President had made his determination that state courts should give effect to the ICJ's decision, Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice notified the United Nations that the United States was withdrawing from the Convention's Optional Protocol, whichsupplied the basis for the ICJ's jurisdiction over the United States in the Avena case. Under the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, article 56(2), the withdrawing party would have to give twelve months’ notice. The United States is not a party to Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, so it might not have to give the full twelve months’ notice, but it would have to allow a reasonable time to elapse before its withdrawal becomes effective.
