 You don't 
have to give notice.  While I try and keep deals in games, some players have no problems breaking deals.  Relying on another player to honour a deal is something you should think carefully about.  Relying exclusively on diplomacy for defence against another nation is not a situation you should place yourself in.
I have had to learn this the hard way.  Even so, you should assume other players are trustworthy until they prove otherwise.
