Desiring to protect their peace
and security and TO promote the
interests of any of the regions
to which this (documenD refers
and which are understood to be
within the foregoing considera-
ton;
Have resolved to conclude the
following convention:
FIRST-If a non-American
state attempts directly or indi-
rectly to substitute for another
American state in the SOW
ereignty or control which that
(other state) exerted over any
territory situated in America,
thereby threatening the peace of
the continent, said territory au-
tomatically will be considered to
be within the stipulations of this
convention and will be submitted
to regime OF provisional admin
istration.
SECOND-That administration
shall be executed-as it Is con-
sidered advisable in each case
by one or more American states
by virtue of previous consent.
THIRD--When administration
is established over region, it
shall be executed in the interest
of the security of America and
to the benefit of the administered

conditions which guarantee free
dom of conscience and faith with

nations hold in America situa-
tions wherein that sovereignty
may be extinguished or essentially
affected, or the government suf-
fers acephalism (becomes head
less), generating peril for the
peace of the continent and Great
ing situation wherein the do
minion of law and order and re-
spect of life. liberty and property
OF the inhabitants disappears;
That the American republics
would consider any transfer or
attempt to transfer sovereignty,
jurisdiction. possession or any
interest or control in any of these
- regions to another non-American
state as contrary to American
sentiments, principles and rights
OF American states to maintain
their security and political in
dependence;
That the American republics
would not recognize nor accept
such transfer or intent to transfer
or acquire interest or rights,
direct or indirect, in any of these
regions, whatever might re the
form employed to realize it;
That the American republics
reserve the right to judge through
their respective organs of govern
ment if some transfer or intent
to transfer sovereignty, jurisdic-
ton, cession or incorporation of
geographical regions in America
owned by European countries
until September /, 1899, may i'm
pair their political independence
even though there has been no
formal transfer or change in the
status of the regions;
That for this reason it is neces-
sary to establish for unforeseen
cases as for any other which may
produce acephalism of the gov
ernment in the said regions a
regime of provisional administra-
ton, while arriving at the OBJ
jective for free determinatio of
the peoples;
That the American republics,
as an international community
which acts integrally and force
fully, supporting itself on political
and juridical principles which
have been applied for more than
century, have the incontestable
right, in order to preserve their
unity and security, to take under
their administration said regions

TIMES in accordalVe with their
respective degrees of political and

That the provisional and tram
STORY character of the measures
agreed upon do not mean forget
fulness or abrogation of the prin-
ciple of on-intervention, the
regulator of inter- American life,
a principle proclaimed by the
American Institute, recognized by
the celebrated committee of ex-
perts on international law, which
met at Rio de Janeiro and con-
secrated in all its amplitude in
the seventh Pan-American Con-
ference held at Montevideo;
That this community. therefore,
has the international juridical
capacity to act in such matters;
That in such a case the most
adequate regime is that of pro-
visional administration, and that
