Covenan of the League of Nations

The Covenant of the League of Nations was the founding document that established the League, an international organization created after World War I to promote peace and prevent future conflicts. It outlined the League’s goals, principles, and member responsibilities, including resolving disputes diplomatically, reducing armaments, and protecting smaller nations. Member countries agreed to cooperate collectively, respect each other's sovereignty, and take collective action against aggressors. The Covenant aimed to foster international cooperation and stability, serving as the legal foundation for the League’s efforts to maintain world peace during the interwar period.
