The Geneva Protocol

"The Geneva Protocol" by David Hunter Miller is a deep look into an early 20th-century agreement. It explores the Protocol for the Pacific Settlement of International Disputes and how it tried to use laws to control countries' actions and encourage disarmament, all under the League of Nations. Beginning with a discussion of the Protocol's origins and importance in the aftermath of World War I, the book lays out the Protocol's legal base, explaining its plans for disarmament, what countries that signed it had to do, and how it planned to solve conflicts peacefully. The relationship between this Protocol and the League of Nations is explored to clarify how it limited war and created new responsibilities for countries. It is a detailed legal study of the Protocol's potential effects on how countries would interact in the future.
