The Covenant of the League of Nations

The Covenant of the League of Nations was the founding agreement that established the League as an international organization aimed at maintaining peace and security among countries. It outlined principles for resolving disputes peacefully, reducing arms, and encouraging cooperation on global issues. Member nations committed to respect each other's independence, settle conflicts diplomatically, and work together to prevent war. The Covenant also set procedures for collective action, including sanctions or intervention if a member was threatened or attacked. Overall, it was a diplomatic framework designed to promote stability and peace after World War I.
