If we had a statute of limitations like this, treaties with other countries would cease to hold all meaning.
Humanity has already walked down this path before: The kings of England would routinely invalidate treaties made by predecessors.

Or in another case if a country is ruled by a genocidal dictatorship and there is a rebellion, should the new government be bound by the treaties made by the dictator? What if that dictator had been installed by a foriegn government?
