AllRefer.com - Kellogg-Briand Pact (International Organizations) - Encyclopedia Frank B. Kellogg, the U.S. Secretary of State, returned a proposal for a general pact against war, and after prolonged negotiations the Pact of Paris was signed by 15 nations : Australia, Belgium, Canada, Czechoslovakia, France, Germany, Great Britain, India, the Irish Free State, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Poland, South Africa, and the United States. Ultimately, however, the pact proved to be meaningless, especially with the practice of waging undeclared wars in the 1930s (e.g., the Japanese invasion of Manchuria in 1931, the Italian invasion of Ethiopia in 1935, and the German occupation of Austria in 1938). The pact never made a meaningful contribution to international order, although it was invoked in 1929 with some success, when China and the USSR reached a tense moment over possession of the Chinese Eastern RR in Manchuria. reference.allrefer.com /encyclopedia/K/KelloggB.html   (427 words)

JURI 4640: International Law I - Class 19: The Limits of International Law This violation of the Pact provided one of the grounds for the Nuremberg prosecutions at the end of the war, and a number of German leaders were ultimately found guilty of waging aggressive war, in violation of the Kellogg-Briand Pact. The Kellogg-Briand Pact was adopted in 1928, primarily at the initiative of France and the United States.

Kellogg-Briand Pact Most damaging perhaps for the United States was that the Kellogg-Briand Pact may have induced some in positions of authority to delay action in the face of aggression, hoping in vain that the terms of the agreement would be honored. Kellogg began to see advantages in such an agreement, but insisted that the concept be expanded to encompass many nations. Columbia University professor James T. Shotwell met with Briand in France and suggested that a bilateral treaty be negotiated that would outlaw war between the two nations. www.u-s-history.com /pages/h1485.html   (580 words)

Equipo Nizkor - Judgment of the Nuremberg International Military Tribunal. In interpreting the words of the Pact, it must be remembered that international law is not the product of an international legislature, and that such international agreements as the Pact have to deal with general principles of law, and not with administrative matters of procedure. The nations who signed the Pact or adhered to it unconditionally condemned recourse to war for the future as an instrument of policy, and expressly renounced it. In the opinion of the Tribunal, the solemn renunciation of war as an instrument of national policy necessarily involves the proposition that such a war is illegal in international law; and that those who plan and wage such a war, with its inevitable and terrible consequences, are committing a crime in so doing. www.derechos.org /nizkor/nuremberg/judgment/cap5.html   (2772 words)

Return to Top Return to Contents Next Chapter Previous Chapter Though the Kellogg-Briand Pact was developed in response to a French effort to draw the United States into an alliance, it certainly restored some of the moral force U.S. policy had lost when the Senate refused to consent to ratifying the Treaty of Versailles and the League Covenant.
