(the) Kellogg Pact

(the) Kellogg Pact
an international agreement (1928) that nations would not use war to settle disputes. It was prepared by US Secretary of State Frank B Kellogg (1856–1937) and French Foreign Minister Aristide Briand (1862–1932), and signed in Paris by 15 nations, and then later by 62 others. The agreement failed because it lacked the power to prevent wars.
