Good news:
I don't think it will pass the Senate at this time.

Bad news:
I don't now of any "expiration date" on treaties, so it could sit there for a long while, just waiting for the Senate to approve it.

Good news:
The treaty won't take effect until 50 countries have ratified it. See Article 22.

Bad news:
Six countries already have.
