an award, the council shall propose
what steps should be taken to give
effect thereto.
Article 14
The council shall formulate and
submit to the members of the league
for adoption plans for the establish
ment of a permanent court of inter
national justice. The court shall be
competent to hear and determine any
dispute of an international character
which the parties thereto submit to it.
The court may also give an advisory
opinion upon any dispute or question
referred to it by the council or by the
assembly.
Article 15
If there should arise between mem
bers of the league any dispute likely
to lead to a rupture, which is not sub
mitted to arbitration as above, the
members of the league agree that they
will submit the matter to the council.
Any party to the dispute may ertect
such submission by giving notice of
the existence of the dispute to the
secretary general, who will make all
necessary arrangements for a full in
vestment and consideration thereof.
For this purpose the parties to the
dispute will communicate to the sec
retary general, as promptly as pos-|
sible, statements of their case, all j
the revelent facts and papers; the!
council may forthwith direct the pub-1
lication thereof.
The council shall endeavor to ef-j
feet a settlement of any dispute, and, I
if such efforts are successful, a state
ment shall be made public giving
such facts and explanations regarding
the dispute, terms of settlement
thereof as the council may deem ap
propriate. **
If the dispute is not thus settled
the council either unanimously or
by a majority vote shall make and
publish a report containing a state
ment of the facts of the dispute and
the recommendations which are
deemed just and proper in regard
thereto.
Any member of the league repre
sented on the council may make public
a statement of the facts of the dispute
and of its conclusions regarding the
same.
Tf n tiniMMit V\ir oonnoil i c* nnon.
imously agreed to by the members
thereof other than the representa
tives of one or more of the parties
to the dispute, the members of the
league agree that they will not go to
war with any party to the dispute
which complies with the recommen
dations of the report.
If the council fails to reach a re
port which is unanimously agreed to
by members thereof, other than the
representatives of one or more of the
parties to the dispute, the members of
the league reserve to themselves the
right to take such action as they shall
consider necessary for the mainten
ance of right and justice.
If the dispute between the parties
is claimed by one of them, and is
found by the council to arise out
of a matter which by international
law is solely with the domestic juris
diction of that party, the council shall
So report, and shall make no recom
mendations as to its settlement. The
council may in any case under this
article refer the dispute to the assem
bly. The dispute shall be so referred
at the request of either party to the
dispute, provided that such request be
made within 14 days after the submis
sion of the dispute to the council.
In any case referred to the as
sembly all the provisions of this ar
ticle and of article 12 relating to the
action and powers of the council shall
apply to the action and powers of the
assembly, provided that a report
made by the assembly, if concurred
in by the representatives of those
members of the league represented on
the council and of a majority of the
other mmebers of the league, exclus
ive in each case of the representatives
of the parties to the dispute, shall
have the same force as a report by
the council concurred in by all the
members thereof other than the rep
resentatives of one or more of the
parties to the dispute.
Article 16
Should any member of the league
resort to war in disregard oMts cov
enants under articles 12, 13 or 16, it
shall ipso facto be deemed to have
committed an act of war against all
other members of the league, which
hereby undertake immediately to
subject it to the severance of all
trade or financial relations, the pro
hibition of all intercourse between
their nationals and the nationals of
the covenant-breaking state and the
prevention of all financial, commercia
or personal intercourse between the
nationals of the covenant-breaking
state and the nationals of any othei
state, whether a member of the league
or not.
It shall be the duty of the counci
in such case to recommend to the
several governments concerned wha
effective military or naval forces the
members of the league shall sev
erally contribute to the armament!
of forces to be used to protect the
covenants of the league.
The members of the league agree
further, that they will mutually sup
port one another in the flnancia
and economic measures which are
taken under this article, in order t(
minimize the loss and inconvenience
resulting from the above measures
and that they will mutually suppori
one another in resisting any specia
measures aimed at one of their num
ber by the covenant-breaking state
and that they will take the necessary
steps to afford passage through theii
territory to the force of any of the
members of the league which are co
operating to protect the covenants ol
the league. _
Any member of the league which
has violated any covenant of the
league may be declared to be nc
longer a member of the league by
a vote of the council, concurred in by
the renresent.atives of all the othei
members of the league represented
thereon.
Article 17
In the event of a dispute between
a member of the league and a state
which is not a member of the league,
or between states and members of the
league, the state or states not mem
bers of the league shall be invited to
accept the obligations of membership
in the league for the purposes of such
dispute, upon such conditions as the
council may deem just. If such in
vitation is accepted, the provisions ot
articles 12 to 16, inclusive, shall be
applied with such modification as may
be deemed necessary by the council.
Upon such invitation being given
the council shall immediately insti
tute an inquiry into the circumstances
of the dispute and recommend such
action as may seem best and most ef
fectual in the circumstances.
If a state so invited shall refuse
to accept the obligations of member
ship in the league for the purposes
of such dispute, and shall resort to
war against a member of the league,
the provisions of article 16 shall
be applicable as against the state
taking action.
If both parties to the dispute, wh^n
so invited, refuse to accept the ob
ligations or membership in the league
for the purposes of such dispute, the
council may take such measures and
make such recommendations as will
prevent hostilities and will result in
the settlement of the dispute.
Article 18
Every convention or international
engagement entered into hencefor
ward by any members of the league
shall be forthwith registered with the
secretariat, and shall as' soon as pos
sible be published by it. No such
treaty or international engagemenl
shall be binding until so registered.
Article 19
The assembly may from time to
time advise the reconsideration by
members of the league of treaties
which have become inapplicable and
the consideration of international con
ditions whose continuance might en
danger the peace of the world.
OH
The members of the league several
ly agree that this covenant is accepted
as abrogation of all obligations oi
misunderstandings inter se which are
inconsistent with the terms thereof
and solemnly undertake that they will
not hereafted enter into' any engage
ments inconsistent with the terms
thereof.
In case members of the league shall,
before becoming a member of the
league, have undertaken any obliga
tions inconsistent with the . terms ol
this covenant, it shall be the duty ol
such member to take immediate steps
to procure its release from such ob
ligations.
Article 21
Nothing in this covenant shall be
deemed to affect the validity of In
ternational engagements, such as
treaties of arbitration or regional
understandings like the Monroe doc
trine for securing the maintenance ol
peace.
Article 22
To those colonies and territories
which as a consequence of the late
war have ceased to be under the
sovereignity of the states which for
merly governed them, and which are
inhabited by peoples not yet able tc
stand by themselves under the strenu
ous conditions of the modern world,
there should be applied the principle
that the well-being and development
f>f such peoples form a sacred trust
to civilization, and that securities for
the performance of this trust'should
be embodied in this covenant.
The best method of giving practi
cable effect to this principle is that
the tutelage of such people be en
i trusted to advanced nations who, by
: reason of their resources, their ex
■ perience of their geographical posi
! tion, can best undertake this re
sponsibility, and who are willing to ac
cept it, and that this tutelage should
i be exercised by them as mandatories
, on behalf of the league.
The character of the mandate must
■ differ according to the stage of de
velopment of the people, the geo
! graphical situation of the territory,
its economic condition and other
, similar circumstances.
Certain communities formerly be
longing to the Turkish Empire have
1 reached a stage of development where
1 there existence as independent na
tions can be provisionally recognized
subject to the rendering of adminis
trative advice and assistance by a
mandatory until such time as they are
able to stand alone. The wishes of
these communities must be a prin
cipal consideration in the selection
of the mandatory.
Other peoples, especially those of
Central Africa, are at such a stage
that the mandatory must be re
sponsible for the administration of
the territory under conditions which
will guarantee freedom of conscience
or religion subject only to the main
tenance of public order and morals,
the prohibition of abuses such as the
above trade, the arms traffic and the
liquor traffic and the prevention of the
establishment of fortifications or mili
tary and naval bases and of military
training of the nations for other than
police purposes and the defense of ter
ritory and will also secure equal op
portunities for the trade and com
merce of other members of the league.
There are territories, such as
Southwest Africa and certain of the
South Pacific islands, which, owing
to the sparseness of their population
or their small size, or their remoteness
from the centers of civiliation or their
jeijgraphlcal contiguity to the terrl
'ory of the mandatory and other cir
uumstances, can be best administeret
under the laws of the mandatory ai
Integral portions of its territory sub
jpct to the safeguards above men
tioned in the interests of the in
cigenous population. In every case oi
Mandate the mandatory shall rendei
to the council an annual report in re
fsrence to the territory committed tc
Il.s charge.
J The degree of authority, control oi
administration to be exercised by the
Mandatory shall if not previously
rgreed upon by the members of the
league, be explicitly defined in each
by the council.
c®permanent commission shall be
constituted to receive and examine
iWjpnnual reports of the mandatories
amk advise the council.
Article 23
Subject to and in accordance with
tS® provisions of international con
ventions existing or hereafter to be
agreed upon, the members of the
league, (a) will endeavor to secure
and maintain fair and humane con
ditions of labor for men, women and
children, both in their own countries
end in all countries to which their
(commercial and industrial relations
extend, and for that purpose will es
tablish and maintain the necessary
iternational organiations; (b) under
IP* to secure just treatment of the
itive inhabitants of territories under
eir control; (c) will entrust the
ague with the general supervision
er the execution of agreements with
gard to the traffic in women and
fldren, and the traffic in opium and
tjLpr dangerous drugs; (d) will en
ilgt the league with the general sup
vision of the trade in arms and am
ujbition with the countries in which
la. control of this traffic is necessary
the common interest; (e) will
ake provision to secure and main
in freedom of communication and of
ansit and equitable treatment for
- the commerce of all members of the
■ league. In this connection the special
necessities of the regions devastated
i during the war of 1914-1918 shall be
• in mind; (f) will endeavor to take
steps in matters of international con
cern for the prevention and control of
disease.
Article 24
There shall be placed under the
direction of the league all interna
tional bureaus already established by
general treaties if the parties to
such treaties consent. All such in
ternational bureaus and all commis
sions for the regulation of matters
of international interest hereafter con
stituted shall be placed under the di
rection of the league.
In all matters of international in
terest which are regulated by general
conventions, but which are not placed
under control of international bureaus
or commissions, the secretary of the
league shall, subject to the consent
of the council and if desired by the
parties, collect and distribute all re
velant information and shall render
any other assistance which may be
necessary or desirable.
The council may include as part of
the expenses of the secretariat the
expenses of any bureau or commission
which is placed under the direction
of the league.
Article 25
The members of the league agree
to encourage and promote the es
tablishment and co-operation of duly
authoried volunteer National Red
Cross organiations having as pur
poses improvement of health, the pre
vention of diseases and the mitagation
of suffering throughout the world.
Article 26
Amendment to this convention will
take effect when ratified by the mem
bers of the league whose representa
tive compose the council and by a ma
jority of the members of the league
whose representatives compose the
assembly.
Such amndments shall (the word
“not” apparently omitted in cable
tranmission) bind any member of the
league which signifies its dissent
therefrom, but in that case it shall
cease to be a member of the league.
