Topic 2. Why Can’t We Outlaw War?
Could the United Nations pass an international law to ban wars altogether? Realists use history
to argue that such a law would be ineffective unless it is enforced. A 1928 international
agreement known as the Pact of Paris (or Briand-Kellogg Pact) was signed by 15 nations –
including Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain, India, Japan, South Africa, and the United
States. The agreement stated that war should be abolished forever as a means of resolving
international conflicts. Yet it remained empty without proper enforcement.
Right after the Pact of Paris was signed, the U.S. Senate ratified the treaty. However, the
lawmakers made it clear that the United States would not be compelled to use force against
countries that violate the treaty. In other words, Washington promised not to punish future
aggressors, and so aggressive wars could continue. And they did. In the 1930s, the world
community did not stop aggression by Japan against China, Italy against Ethiopia, or the Soviet
2
Union against Finland (Oppenheim, 1992). The League of Nations could not stop hostilities
between Paraguay and Bolivia. International law enforcement became under the critical eye of
realists a serious problem of international law.
What’s your view?
And yet, let’s assume that next year most countries of the United Nations, including the United
States, agree to legally ban wars between states altogether. Based on what you have read, suggest
several conditions under which this law would be effective. Which country or organization could
be capable of creating and maintaining such conditions?
On the Web.

attempts to outlaw war:
