The Geneva Protocol

"The Geneva Protocol" provides an in-depth legal and political analysis of the Protocol for the Pacific Settlement of International Disputes, an ambitious attempt by the League of Nations to ensure global peace following the First World War. Written by David Hunter Miller, a prominent legal advisor during the Paris Peace Conference, this work examines the intricate mechanisms of international arbitration, security, and disarmament that the Protocol aimed to establish.

The book explores the challenges of defining aggression and the obligations of member states to participate in collective security. Miller offers a meticulous clause-by-clause commentary, shedding light on the diplomatic negotiations and the legal theories that underpinned this landmark document. By detailing the intersection of international law and sovereign interests, "The Geneva Protocol" serves as a crucial primary source for understanding the evolution of international relations in the interwar period.

Scholars and readers interested in the history of the League of Nations, the development of international arbitration, and the early twentieth-century quest for a stable world order will find this volume an indispensable resource. It captures a pivotal moment when the world's leaders sought to replace the use of force with a comprehensive system of legal adjudication.
