Gotta love this:
Sorry, wrong.
1903 Cuban-American Treaty (Treaty of Havana)
1934 U.S.-Cuban Treaty
The US is under no obligation under international to terminate the lease.
However, why do I have little voice in the back of my head that tells me that this might become Obama's Panama Canal?

The ailing 82-year-old former president wrote that if the U.S. doesn't give the U.S. base at Guantanamo back to Cuba, it will be a violation of international law and an abuse of American power against a small country.

1903 Cuban-American Treaty (Treaty of Havana)
1934 U.S.-Cuban Treaty
Article III
Until the two contracting parties agree to the modifications or abrogation of the stipulations of the agreement in regard to the lease to the United States of America of lands in Cuba for coaling and naval stations signed by the President of the Republic of Cuba on February 16, 1903, and by the President of the United States of America on the 23rd day of the same month and year, the stipulations of that agreement with regard to the naval stations of Guantanamo shall continue in effect. The supplementary agreement in regard to naval or coaling stations signed between the two Governments on July 2, 1903, also shall continue in effect in the same form and on the same conditions with respect to the naval station at Guantanamo. So long as the United States of America shall not abandon the said naval station of Guantanamo or the two Governments shall not agree to a modification of its present limits, the station shall continue to have territorial area that it now has, with the limits that it has on the date of the signature of the preset Treaty.
The US is under no obligation under international to terminate the lease.
