KELLOGG-BRIAN PACT AND WAR PLAN: HAVING AN INSURANCE POLICY DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN DO WITHOUT FIRE PREVENTION
"During the 1920s some countries worked together and made pacts in hopes of peace. The Kellogg-Briand pact was initially a brilliant idea of having major nations agree to not use war. But as we all know there was a war after this pact was signed in 1928 so we know that this pact was ultimately unsuccessful."

This guide is meant to give resources that are relevant to international law. It begins with information regarding the Kellogg-Briand Pact because the treaty related to the creation of the Nuremberg Trials as well as the UN Charter, which is still in effect today. The Nuremberg Trials are the next topic because they set a precedent for how jus cogens norms and international legal standards can be upheld in international courts. The UN Charter is the final topic because it is the treaty that created the United Nations, which plays an important role in international law and politics today.

This link goes to notes and the original formation of the Kellogg-Briand Pact.

When deciding your paper topic, consider how different treaties, policies, wars, etc. have interacted together in history. For example consider how the Kellogg-Briand Pact relates to the UN Charter ot the Geneva Convention or the Hague Convention in modern international law practice. There is an evolution of treaties/ conventions that have led to the policies in place today.
