Kellogg-Briand Pact

From David Swanson:

Signing of Kellogg-Briand Pact

The Kellogg-Briand Pact was an agreement to outlaw war signed on August 27, 1928. Sometimes called the Pact of Paris for the city in which it was signed, the pact was one of many international efforts to prevent another World War, but it had little effect in stopping the rising militarism of the 1930s or preventing World War II.

************************

And it has had no noticeable impact in the years since World War II. David is working to change that. I totally support his efforts.
