The Kellogg-Briand Pact was an international agreement signed in 1928 by 63 countries. It renounced war as an instrument of national policy and called for the peaceful settlement of international disputes. The pact was largely ignored in the years leading up to World War II, and it was formally denounced by the United States in 1942.
There are a number of ways that governments could reinstate the Kellogg-Briand Pact. One way would be to renegotiate the pact and update it to reflect the current international legal landscape. Another way would be to create a new international agreement that is based on the principles of the Kellogg-Briand Pact.
Renegotiating the Kellogg-Briand Pact would require the cooperation of all 63 countries that originally signed the pact. This could be a difficult task, as some countries may be reluctant to renegotiate an agreement that they signed over 90 years ago. However, if the countries are able to reach an agreement, it would send a strong signal that they are committed to peace and the peaceful settlement of international disputes.
Creating a new international agreement would be a more challenging task than renegotiating the Kellogg-Briand Pact. It would require the cooperation of even more countries, and it would be necessary to get the agreement ratified by the legislatures of all of those countries. However, creating a new agreement would allow for the inclusion of new provisions that are not included in the Kellogg-Briand Pact, such as provisions on the use of force in self-defense or provisions on the use of economic sanctions.
Reinstating the Kellogg-Briand Pact would be a significant step towards creating a more peaceful world. It would send a strong signal that countries are committed to peace and the peaceful settlement of international disputes. It would also help to create a more stable and predictable international order.
