Based on my experience so far with the game, I feel like AIs don't consider defensie pacts into account when declaring war.
I've had games in which the top 3 civs (including me) maintained very good relationships all along, and had defensive pacts throughout the game. This trilateral coalition was also very hostile towards the remainder of the world, as the lesser civs were constantly declaring war on one of us, strengthening relations among the coalition.
You'd think that when the AI decides whether to declare or not, they would consider defensive pacts into account as well, the same way the weigh the military strength of their potential enemies.......
