Good

Can only make when when at WAR.

Cancelling a ceasefire returns you to open WAR status (I hope).

Timing out a Ceasefire should return everyone to neutral.

I don't think there is a "Neutral" treaty, i.e. an agreement that can
be cancelled. This is the "non-treaty" state.

Treaties that timeout should leave you in a Neutral state unless they
trigger some special condition like open WAR.

Cancelling a peace treaty should be an act of war.

Timing out a peace treaty returns you to neutral (no treaty).
