Briand-Kellogg Pact |
|

|
|
| |
The name by which the General Treaty of 1928 for the Renunciation of War is generally known (after the French and American foreign ministers who instigated it). It provided for the renunciation of recourse to war for the solution of international controversies, and as an instrument of national policy. It was seen as largely closing the ‘gaps’ in the Covenant of the League of Nations which, in certain limited circumstances, permitted aggressive war (as distinct from war in self-defence). The Treaty was widely adhered to, but had little immediate effect. However, at the level of ideas it was of considerable significance, in that it indicated the changing attitude to the propriety of war as a positive instrument of national policy. |
