The eastern version of this was Litvinov's Pact, even though all the signees, including Romania and Latvia, had already signed the original.
The eastern version of this was Litvinov's Pact, even though all the signees, including Romania and Latvia, had already signed the original. The ideas set forth in this were originally in the Locarno Treaties, which were mainly between France, Belgium, and Germany. One of the men who originated this treaty did not actually believe in the principles set forth by the French, and suggested an alternative to dilute the purpose of both the eventual and the original treaty. The Senate agreed and while voting overwhelmingly to approve, it also added the stipulation that they were not obliged to enforce it. Eventually signed by 62 nations, this allowed for the Nuremberg Trials, being the legal underpinnings for the notion of crime against peace. FTP, name this treaty that had no immediate effect on nations like Japan or Italy, in which the world formally renounced "war as an instrument of national policy."
