Abstract
In the system set up by the League of Nations in 1919 it was hoped that all states would be members and that they would respect each other’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Peace would be maintained under League auspices by arbitration, conciliation or resort to the new Permanent Court of International Justice, while disarmament would further reduce the likelihood of war. In addition, the Covenant provided for penalties, (or sanctions) for resort to war in breach of its provisions.
