The Geneva Protocol

This legal study analyzes an international protocol proposing methods for pacific settlement of disputes, reduction and limitation of armaments, and collective enforcement within the League framework. It systematically addresses entry into force, parties, inter‑party relations, arbitration procedures, the handling of domestic questions, definitions of aggression, sanctions, separate defensive agreements, demilitarized zones, and issues of interpretation. Annexes reproduce relevant texts, reports, and alternative plans. The author examines the legal obligations and remedies created by the instrument and considers its practical effects for signatories and non‑signatories as well as its interaction with existing covenants and disarmament efforts.
