Wasn't theta radiation banned by the Khitomer Accords?

Little bit of a joke there but - I realized that I have difficulty believing that Starfleet would ever allow its captains to use a weapon like "Theta Radiation Vent". We're talking about dumping a "dangerous byproduct of contaminated antimatter waste" into space specifically to kill the crew of another ship (at 2.5% every second). Sure, you can tell me that dying by theta radiation isn't that much different than dying by photon torpedo - but Starfleet has it's rules for war, and I just can't imagine them ever employing such a weapon.

    They certainly took a liking to the living and sentient weapons of mass destruction called Bio-Neural Warheads.

    Also enter the entire Voyager episode devoted to rescuing a Bio-Neural Warhead.

    All cloaks should be canon.

    The Klinks withdrew from the Khitomer Accords in 2372, why should the Feds abide by the same rules that the Klinks walked away from?
