Kellogg Briand Peace Pact
Paris, August 27, 1928-1929
Summary:
The Kellogg Briand Peace Pact was signed by the United States, Japan, and a better portion of Europe in the late 1920's in which each nation recognized its solemn duty to promote the general welfare of mankind. The Pact stated that the renunciation of war ought to be used as a national policy in order to bring about peace and order. With the signing and passage of this pact, any nation that wished to declare war in pursuit of its own interest would be denied the benefits as decreed by the treaty. It was the hope of those who signed the treaty that future generations would follow this example.
The nations involved agreed that they would denounce the resulting causalities of war as a way to solve international disputes. The nations involved would also be open to consultation so long as they adhered to one another.
The government of all nations would be recognized and follow the treaty
, and all would possess a copy of the treaty and would notify one another if there were to be any alterations.
