		Poland refused to abide by the League decision in the Vilnius dispute, and the League was forced to stand by powerlessly in the face of the French occupation of the Ruhr (1923) and Italy’s occupation of Kérkira (1923).

		It was able to restrain weak states effectively, but due to its lack of a strong military or economic capability, powerful states simply ignored the decrees of the United Nations when they didn't suit their interests.
		The inability of the U.N. to restrain the United States from attacking Iraq proves that the U.N. is completely incapable of enforcing resolutions that bind powerful states to international law.
		The United States would have to take a less hands on approach in Iraq's political, economic and military future; moreover, the U.S. could push for an international peacekeeping force to be deployed throughout all of Iraq, giving a real possibility that the Iraqi people would see the U.S. action as liberation rather than occupation.

		The idea for a League as an essential part of the Treaty was adopted unanimously by the representatives of the 32 states present on January 25, and a subcommittee for the drafting of a League of Nations Covenant was selected with President Wilson as chairman.
		He felt that power must not be vested in a single nation or combination of nations; the sea is a free highway and should be protected by a league of all the nations under international law.
		Without the power of the United States the strong guarantees of Article 10 were left mostly to the British to enforce, and after the war they were in no mood to undertake such a burden alone.
