French refusal to recognize the G.P.R.A. made any Evian commitments unenforceable.

Evidence

All right, said the Algerians, if you cannot recognise the G.P.R.A. as a legitimate government, then it cannot accept any responsibility for the future. With the G.P.R.A. black-balled, pacts could only be concluded with the F.L.N. — which, as a mere political party, would have no powers to make commitments binding upon any future Algerian government. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 1436 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
