Selon les vues des Hautes Parties contractantes, ces dispo- sitions, dont la rédaction a été inspirée par le désir de diminuer les maux de la guerre, autant que les nécessités militaires le per- mettent, sont destinées à servir de règle générale de conduite aux belligérants, dans leurs rapports entre eux et avec les populations. Il n'a pas été possible toutefois de concerter dès maintenant des stipulations s'étendant à toutes les circonstances qui se présentent dans la pratique; Seeing that, while seeking means to preserve peace and pre- vent armed conflicts between na- tions, it is likewise necessary to bear in mind the case where the appeal to arms has been brought about by events which their care was unable to avert; Animated by the desire to serve, even in this extreme case, the interests of humanity and the ever progressive needs oï civiliza- tion; Thinking it important, with this object, to revise the general laws and customs of war, either with a view to defining them with greater precision or to confining them within such limits as would mitigate their severity as far as possible ; Have deemed it necessary to complete and explain in certain particulars the work of the First Peace Conference, which, follow- ing on the Brussels Conference of 1874, and inspired by the ideas dictated by a wise and generous forethought, adopted provisions intendfed to define and govern the usages of war on land. According to the views of the High Contracting Parties, these provisions, the wording of which has been inspired by the desire to diminish the evils of war, as far as military requirements permit, are intended to serve as a general rule of conduct for the belligerents in their mutual relations and in their relations with the inhabitants. It has not, however, been found possible at present to concert Regulations covering all the cir- cumstances which arise in prac- tice; 6 D'autre part, il ne pouvait entrer dans les intentions des Hautes Parties contractantes que les cas non prévus fussent, faute de stipulation écrite, laissées à l'appréciation arbitraire de ceux qui dirigent les armées. En attendant qu'un Code plus complet des lois de la guerre puisse être édicté, les Hautes Parties contractantes jugent op- portun de constater que, dans les cas non compris dans les disposi- tions réglementaires adoptées par Elles, les populations et les Bel- ligérants restent sous la sauve- garde et sous l'empire des prin- cipes du droit des gens, tels qu'ils résultent des usages établis entre nations civilisées, des lois de l'hu- manité et des exigences de la con- science publique. Elles déclarent que c'est dans ce sens que doivent s'entendre notamment les articles 1 et 2 du Règlement adopté. Les Hautes Parties contrac- tantes, désirant conclure une nou- velle Convention à cet effet, ont nommé pour Leurs Plénipoten- tiaires, savoir: SA MAJESTÉ L 'EMPEREUR D ' A L L E - MAGNE, ROI DE PRUSSE: Son Excellence le baron Mar- schall de Bieberstein, Son minis- tre d'état, Son ambassadeur ex- traordinaire et plénipotentiaire à Constantinople ; M. le dr.

LE PRÉSIDENT DES ÉTATS-UNIS D 'AMÉRIQUE: Son Excellence M. Joseph H. Choate, ambassadeur extraordi- naire; On the other hand, the High Contracting Parties clearly do not intend that unforeseen cases should, in the absence of a written undertaking, be left to the arbi- trary judgment of military com- manders. Until a more complete code of the laws of war has been issued, the High Contracting Parties deem it expedient to declare that, in cases not included in the Regu- lations adopted by them, the in- habitants and the belligerents re- main under the protection and the rule of the principles of the law of nations, as they result from the usages established among civilized peoples, from the laws of humanity, and the dic- tates of the public conscience. They declare that it is in this sense especially that Articles I and II of the Regulations adopted must be understood.

Les Puissances contractantes donneront à leurs forces armées de terre des instructions qui seront conformes au Règlement concer- nant les lois et coutumes de la guerre sur terre, annexé à la présente Convention. Who, after having deposited their full powers, found in good and due form, have agreed upon the following:— ARTICLE 1. The Contracting Powers shall issue instructions to their armed land forces which shall be in con- formity with the Regulations re- specting the Laws and Customs of War on Land, annexed to the present Convention. 633164 O - 45 - 3 18 A R T I C L E 15. Les dispositions contenues dans le Règlement visé à l'article 1er ainsi que dans la présente Con- vention, ne sont applicables qu'en- tre les Puissances contractantes et seulement si les belligérants sont tous parties à la Convention. A R T I C L E 3 . La Partie belligérante qui vio- lerait les dispositions dudit Règle- ment sera tenue à indemnité, s'il y a lieu. Elle sera responsable de tous actes commis par les person- nes faisant partie de sa force armée. A R T I C L E 4 . La présente Convention dû- ment ratifiée remplacera, dans les rapports entre les Puissances con- tractantes, la Convention du 29 juillet 1899 concernant les lois et coutumes de la guerre sur terre. La Convention de 1899 reste en vigueur dans les rapports entre les Puissances qui l'ont signée et qui ne ratifieraient pas également la présente Convention. A R T I C L E 5 . La présente Convention sera ratifiée aussitôt que possible. Les ratifications seront dépo- sées à La Haye. Le premier dépôt de ratifica- tions sera constaté par un procès- verbal signé par les représentants des Puissances qui y prennent Êart et par le Ministre des Affaires Itrangeres des Pays-Bas. Les dépôts ultérieurs de ratifi- cations se feront au moyen d'une notification écrite adressée au Gouvernement des Pays-Bas et accompagnée de l'instrument de ratification. A R T I C L E 15.

The present Convention, duly ratified, shall as between the Contracting Powers, be substi- tuted for the Convention of' the 29th July, 1899, respecting the Laws and Customs of War on Land. The Convention of 1899 re- mains in force as between the Powers which signed it, and which do not also ratify the present Con- vention. A R T I C L E 5 . The present Convention shall be ratified as soon as possible. The ratifications shall be de- posited at The Hague. The first deposit of ratifications shall be recorded in a procès- verbal signed by the Representa- tives of the Powers which take f>art therein and by the Nether- and Minister for Foreign Affairs. The subsequent deposits of rati- fications shall be made by means of a written notification, addressed to the Netherland Government and accompanied by the instru- ment of ratification. 19 Copie certifiée conforme du §roc ès-verbal relatif au premier épôt de ratifications, des notifi- cations mentionnées à l'alinéa i précédent ainsi que des instru- ments de ratification, sera immé- diatement remise par les soins du T Gouvernement des Pays-Bas et par la voie diplomatique aux Puis- sances conviées à la Deuxième Conférence de la Paix, ainsi qu'autres Puissances qui auront adhéré à la Convention.

A R T I C L E 7. La présente Convention pro- duira effet, pour les Puissances 3ui auront participé au premier épôt de ratifications, soixante jours après la date du procès- verbal de ce dépôt et, pour les Puissances qui ratifieront ulté- rieurement ou qui adhéreront, soixante jours après que la notifi- cation de leur ratification ou de leur adhésion aura été reçue par le Gouvernement dès Pays-Bas. A duly certified copy of the ;procès-verbal relative to the first deposit of ratifications, of the no- tifications mentioned in the pre- ceding pragraph, as well as of the instruments of ratification, shall be immediately sent by the Neth- erland Government, through the diplomatic channel, to the Powers invited to the Second Peace Con- ference, as well as to the other Powers which have adhered to the Convention. In the cases contemplated in the preceding paragraph the said Government shall at the same time inform them of the date on which it re- ceived the notification. A R T I C L E 6 . Non-Signatory Powers may ad- here to the present Convention. The Power which desires to ad- here notifies in writing its inten- tion to the Netherland Govern- ment, forwarding to it the act of adhesion, which shall be deposited in the archives of the said Gov- ernment. This Government shall at once transmit to all the other Powers a duly certified copy of the noti- fication as well as of the act of adhesion, mentioning the date on which it received the notification. A R T I C L E 7 . The present Convention shall come into force, in the case of the Powers which were a party to the first deposit of ratifications, sixty days after the date of the procès- verbal of this deposit, and, in the case of the Powers which ratify subsequently or which adhere, sixty days after the notification of their ratification or of their ad- hesion has been received by the Netherland Government. 2 0 A R T I C L E 15. A R T I C L E 15. S'il arrivait qu'une des Puis- sances contractantes voulût dé- noncer la présente Convention, la dénonciation sera notifiée par écrit au Gouvernement des Pays- Bas qui communiquera immé- diatement copie certifiée con- forme de la notification à toutes les autres Puissances en leur faisant savoir la date à laquelle il l'a reçue. La dénonciation ne produira ses effets qu'à l'égard de la Puis- sance qui l'aura notifiée et un an après que la notification en sera parvenue au Gouvernement des Pays-Bas. A R T I C L E 9 . Un registre tenu par le Minis- tère des Affaires Etrangères des Pays-Bas indiquera la date du dépôt de ratifications effectué en vertu de l'article 5 alinéas 3 et 4 ainsi que la date à laquelle auront été reçues les notifications d'ad- hésion (article 6, alinéa 2) ou de dénonciation (article 8, alinéa l). Chaque Puissance contractante est admise à prendre connaissance de ce registre et à en demander des extraits certifiés conformes. En foi de quoi, les Plénipoten- tiaires ont revêtu la présente Convention de leurs signatures.

SECTION I . — D E S BELLIGÉRANTS. CHAPITRE I . — D e la qualité de belligérant. ARTICLE P R E M I E R . Les lois, les droits et les devoirs de la guerre ne s'appliquent pas seulement à l'armée, mais encore aux milices et aux corps de volon- taires réunissant les conditions suivantes : 1°. d'avoir à leur tête une personne responsable pour ses subordonnés; 2°. d'avoir un signe distinctif fixe et reconnaissable à distance; 3°. de porter les armes ouver- tement et 4°. de se conformer dans leurs opérations aux lois et coutumes de la guerre. Dans les pays où les milices ou des corps de volontaires cons- tituent l'armée ou en font partie, ils sont compris sous la dénomina- tion d'armée. ARTICLE 2. La population d'un territoire non occupé qui, à l'approche de l'ennemi, prend spontanément les armes pour combattre les troupes d'invasion sans avoir eu le temps de s'organiser conformément à l'article premier, sera considérée comme belligérante si elle porte les armes ouvertement et si elle respecte les lois et coutumes de la guerre. ARTICLE 3 . Les forces armées des Parties belligérantes peuvent se composer de combattants et de non-com- ANNEX TO THE CONVENTION. Regulations respecting the laws and customs of war on land. SECTION I . — O N BELLIGERENTS. CHAPTER I.— The Qualifications of Belligerents. ARTICLE 1. The laws, rights, and duties of war apply not only to armies, but also to militia and volunteer corps fulfilling the following con- ditions:— 1. To be commanded by a person responsible for his subor- dinates; 2. To have a fixed distinctive emblem recognizable at a dis- tance ; 3. To carry arms openly ; and 4. To conduct their operations in accordance with the laws and customs of war. In countries where militia or volunteer corps constitute the army, or form part of it, they are included under the denomina- tion "army." ARTICLE 2 . The inhabitants of a territory which has not been occupied, who, on the approach of the enemy, spontaneously take up arms to resist the invading troops without having had time to organize themselves in accordance with Article I, shall be regarded as belligerents if they carry arms openly and if they respect the laws and customs of war. ARTICLE 3 . The armed forces of the bellig- erent parties may consist of com- batants and noncombatants. In 25 battants. En cas de capture par l'ennemi, les uns et les autres ont droit au traitement des prison- niers de guerre. CHAPITRE I I . — D e s 'prisonniers de Guerre. A R T I C L E 4 . Les prisonniers de guerre sont au pouvoir du Gouvernement en- nemi, mais non des individus ou des corps qui les ont capturés. Ils doivent être traités avec humanité. Tout ce qui leur appartient personnellement, excepté les armes, les chevaux et les papiers militaires, reste leur propriété. A R T I C L E 5 . Les prisonniers de guerre peu- vent être assujettis à l'interne- ment dans une ville, forteresse, camp ou localité quelconque, avec obligation de ne pas s'en éloigner au delà de certaines limites détér- minées; mais ils ne peuvent être enfermés que par mesure de sû- reté indispensable, et seulement pendant la durée des circons- tances qui nécessitent cette me- sure. A R T I C L E 6 . L'Etat peut employer, comme travailleurs, les prisonniers de guerre, selon leur grade et leurs aptitudes, à l'exception des offi- ciers. Ces travaux ne seront pas excessifs et n'auront aucun rap- port avec les opérations de la guerre.. Les prisonniers peuvent être autorisés à travailler pour le compte d'administrations publi- ques ou de particuliers, ou pour leur propre compte. Les travaux faits pour l'Etat sont payés d'après les tarifs en vigueur pour les militaires de l'armée nationale exécutant les the case of capture bv the enemy, both have a right to be treated as prisoners of war. CHAPTER I I . — P r i s o n e r s of War. A R T I C L E 4 . Prisoners of war are in the Eower of the hostile Government, ut not of the individuals or corps who capture them. They must be humanely treated. All their personal belongings, except arms, horses, and military papers, remain their property. A R T I C L E 5 . Prisoners of war may be in- terned in a town, fortress, camp, or other place, and bound not to go beyond certain fixed limits; but they cannot be confined ex- cept as an indispensable measure of safety and only while the cir- cumstances which necessitate the measure continue to exist. A R T I C L E 6 . The State may utilize the la- bour of prisoners of war according to their rank and aptitude, officers excepted. The tasks shall not be excessive and shall have no con- nection with the operations of the war. Prisoners may be authorized to work for the public service, for private persons, or on their own account. Work done for the State is paid at the rates in force for work of a similar kind done by soldiers of the national army, or, if there 2 6 mêmes travaux, ou, s'il n'en existe pas, d'après un tarif en rap- port avec les travaux exécutés. Lorsque les travaux ont lieu pour le compte d'autres adminis- trations publiques ou pour des particuliers,. les conditions en sont réglées d'accord avec l'autorité militaire. Le salaire des prisonniers con- tribuera à adoucir leur position, et le surplus leur sera compté au moment de leur libération, sauf défalcation des frais d'entretien. A R T I C L E 7 . Le Gouvernement au pouvoir duquel se trouvent les prisonniers de guerre est chargé ae leur en- tretien. A défaut d'une entente spéciale entre les belligérants, les prison- niers de guerre seront traités pour la nourriture, le couchage et l'ha- billement, sur le même pied que les troupes du Gouvernement qui les aura capturés. A R T I C L E 8 . Les prisonniers de guerre seront soumis aux lois, règlements et ordres en vigueur dans l'armée de l'Etat au pouvoir duquel ils se trouvent. Tout acte d'insubor- dination autorise, à leur égard, les mesures de rigueur néces- saires. Les prisonniers évadés, qui se- raient repris avant d'avoir pu re- joindre leur armée ou avant de quitter le territoire occupé par 1 armée qui les aura capturés, sont passibles de peines disciplinaires. Les prisonniers qui, après avoir réussi à s'évader, sont de nouveau faits prisonniers, ne sont passibles d'aucune peine pour la fuite an- térieure. A R T I C L E 9 . Chaque prisonnier de guerre est tenu de déclarer, s'il est interrogé are none in force, at a rate ac- cording to the work executed. When the work is for other branches of the public service or for private persons the conditions are settled m agreement with the military authorities. The wages of the prisoners shall go towards improving their posi- tion, and the balance shall be paid them on their release, after de- ducting the cost of their mainte- nance. A R T I C L E 7 . The Government into whose hands prisoners of war have fallen is charged with their mainte- nance. In the. absence of a special agreement between the belliger- ents, prisoners of war shall be treated as regards board, lodging, and clothing on the same footing as the troops of the Government who captured them. A R T I C L E 8 . Prisoners of war shall be sub- ject to thé laws, regulations, and orders in force in the army of the State in whose power they are. Any act of insubordination justi- fies the adoption towards them of such measures of severity as may be considered necessary. Escaped prisoners who are re- taken before being able to rejoin their own army or before leaving the territory occupied by the army which captured them are liable to disciplinary punishment. Prisoners who, after succeeding in escaping, are again taken pris- oners, are not liable to any pun- ishment on account of the pre- vious flight. A R T I C L E 9 . Every prisoner of war is bound to give, it he is questioned on the 27 à ce sujet, ses véritables noms et grade et, dans le cas où il en- freindrait cette règle, il s'expo- serait à une restriction des avan- tages accordés aux prisonniers de guerre de sa catégorie. A R T I C L E 1 0 . Les prisonniers de guerre peu- vent être mis en liberté sur parole, si les lois de leur pays les y autori- sent, et, en pareil cas, ils sont obligés, sous la garantie de leur honneur personnel, de remplir scrupuleusement, tant vis-à-vis de leur propre Gouvernement que vis-à-vis de celui qui les a faits prisonniers, les engagements qu'ils auraient contractés. Dans le même cas, leur propre Gouvernement est tenu de n'exi- ger ni accepter d'eux aucun ser- vice contraire à la parole donnée. A R T I C L E 1 1 . Un prisonnier de guerre ne peut être contraint d'accepter sa li- berté sur parole; de même le Gouvernement ennemi n'est pas obligé d'accéder à la demande du prisonnier réclamant sa mise en liberté sur parole. A R T I C L E 1 2 . Tout prisonnier de guerre, li- béré sur parole et repris portant les armes contre le Gouvernement envers lequel il s'était engagé d'honneur, ou contre les alliés de celui-ci, perd le droit au traite- ment des prisonniers de guerre et peut être traduit devant les tribu- naux. A R T I C L E 13 . Les individus qui suivent une armée sans en faire directement partie, tels que les correspondants et les reporters de journaux, les vivandiers, les fournisseurs, qui subject, his true name and rank, and if he infringes this rule, he is liable to have the advantages given to prisoners of his class cur- tailed. A R T I C L E 1 0 . Prisoners of war may be set at liberty on parole if the laws of their country allow, and, in such cases, they are bound, on their personal honour, scrupulously to fulfil, both towards their own Government and the Govern- ment by whom they were made risoners, the engagements they ave contracted. In such cases their own Gov- ernment is bound neither to re- quire of nor accept from them any service incompatible with the parole given. A R T I C L E 1 1 . A prisoner of war can not be compelled to accept his liberty on parole; similarly the hostile Government is not obliged to ac- cede to the request of the prisoner to be set at liberty on parole. A R T I C L E 1 2 . Prisoners of war liberated on parole and recaptured bearing arms against the Government to to whom they had pledged their honour, or against the allies of that Government, forfeit their right to be treated as prisoners of war, and can be brought before the Courts. A R T I C L E 1 3 . Individuals who follow an army without directly belonging to it, such as newspaper correspondents and reporters, sutlers and con- tractors, who fall into the enemy's 28 tombent au pouvoir de l'ennemi et que celui-ci juge utile de déte- nir, ont droit au traitement des prisonniers de guerre, à condition qu'ils soient munis d'une légiti- mation de l'autorité militaire de l'armée qu'ils accompagnaient. A R T I C L E 1 4 . Il est constitué, dès le début des hostilités, dans chacun des Etats belligérants, et, le cas échéant, dans les pays neutres qui auront recueilli des belligé- rants sur leur territoire, un bureau de renseignements sur les pri- sonniers de guerre. Ce bureau, chargé de répondre à toutes les demandes qui les concernent, re- çoit des divers services compé- tents toutes les indications rela- tives aux internements et aux mutations, aux mises en liberté sur parole, aux f échanges, aux évasions, aux entrées dans les hôpitaux, aux décès, ainsi que les autres renseignements nécessaires pour établir et tenir à jour une fiche individuelle pour chaque Srisonnier de guerre. Le bureau evra porter sur cette fiche le nu- méro matricule, les nom et .pré- nom, l'âge, le lieu d'origine, le grade, le corps de troupe, les bles- sures, la date et le lieu de la cap- ture, de l'internement, des bles- sures et de la mort, ainsi que toutes les observations particu- lières. La fiche individuelle sera remise au Gouvernement de l'au- tre belligérant après la conclusion de la paix. Le bureau de renseignements est également chargé de recueillir et de centraliser tous les objets d'un usage personnel, valeurs, lettres etc., qui seront trouvés sur les champs de bataille ou dé- laissés par des prisonniers libérés sur parole, échangés, évadés ou décédés dans les hôpitaux et am- bulances, et de les transmettre aux intéressés. hands and whom the latter thinks expedient to detain, are entitled to be treated as prisoners of war, provided they are in possession of a certificate from the military authorities of the army which they were accompanying. A R T I C L E 14 . An inquiiy office for prisoners of war is instituted on the com- mencement of hostilities in each of the belligerent States, and, when necessary, in neutral coun- tries which have received bellig- erents in their territory. It is the function of this office to reply to all inquiries about the prisoners. It receives from the various serv- ices concerned full information respecting internments and trans- fers, releases on parole, exchanges, escapes, admissions into hospital, deaths, as well as other informa- tion necessary to enable it to make out and keep up to date an individual return for each prisoner of war. The office must state in this return the regimental number, name and surname, age, place of origin, rank, unit, wounds, date and place of capture, intern- ment, wounding, and death, as well as any observations of a special character. The individ- ual return shall be sent to the Government of the other bellig- erent after the conclusion of peace. It is likewise the function of the inquiiy office to receive and col- lect all objects of personal use, valuables, letters, &c., found on the field of battle or left by pris- oners who have been released on Earole, or exchanged, or who ave escaped, or died in hospitals or ambulances, and to forward them to those concerned. 29 A R T I C L E 15 . Les sociétés de secours pour les prisonniers de guerre, régulière- ment constituées selon la loi de leur pays et ayant pour objet d'être les intermédiaires de l'ac- tion charitable, recevront, de la part des belligérants, pour elles et pour leurs agents dûment accré- dités, toute facilité, dans les li- mites tracées par les nécessités militaires et les règles administra- tives, pour accomplir efficace- ment leur tâche d'humanité. Les délégués de ces sociétés pourront être admis à distribuer des se- cours dans les dépôts d'interne- ment, ainsi qu'aux lieux d'étape des prisonniers rapatriés, moyen- nant une permission personnelle délivrée par l'autorité militaire, et en prenant l'engagement par écrit de se soumettre à toutes les mesures d'ordre et de police que celle-ci prescrirait. A R T I C L E 1 6 . Les bureaux de renseignements jouissent de la franchise de port. Les lettres, mandats et articles d'argent, ainsi que les colis pos- taux destinés aux prisonniers de guerre ou expédiés par eux, seront affranchis de toutes les taxes pos- tales, aussi bien dans les pays d'origine et de destination que dans les pays intermédiaires. Les dons et secours en nature destinés aux prisonniers de guerre seront admis en franchise de tous droits d'entrée et autres, ainsi que des taxes de transport sur les che- mins de fer exploités par l'Etat. A R T I C L E 1 7 . Les officiers prisonniers rece- vront la solde à laquelle ont droit les officiers de même grade du pays où ils sont retenus, à charge de remboursement par leur Gou- vernement. A R T I C L E 1 5 . Relief societies for prisoners of war, which are properly consti- tuted in accordance with the laws of their country and with the ob- ject of serving as the channel for charitable effort shall receive from the belligerents, for themselves and their duly accredited agents every facility for the efficient per- formance of their humane task within the bounds imposed by military necessities and adminis- trative regulations. Agents of these societies may be admitted to the places of internment for the purpose of distributing relief, as also to the halting places of repa- triated prisoners, if furnished with a personal permit by the military authorities, and on giving an un- taking in writing to comply with all measures of order and police which the latter may issue. A R T I C L E 1 6 . Inquiry offices enjoy the privi- lege of free postage. Letters, money orders, and valuables, as well as parcels by post, intended for prisoners of war, or dispatched by them, shall be exempt from all postal duties in the countries of origin and destination, as well as in the countries they pass through. Presents and relief in kind for prisoners of war shall be admitted free of all import or other duties, as well as of payments for carriage by the State railways. A R T I C L E 1 7 . Officers taken prisoners shall re- ceive the same rate of pay as officers of corresponding rank in the country where they are de- tained, the amount to be ulti- mately refunded by their own Government. 30 A R T I C L E 1 5 . Toute latitude est laissée aux prisonniers de guerre pour l'exer- cice de leur religion, y compris l'assistance aux offices de leur culte, à la seule condition de se conformer aux mesures d'ordre et de police prescrites par l'autorité militaire. A R T I C L E 1 9 . Les testaments des prisonniers de guerre sont reçus ou dressés dans les mêmes conditions que pour les militaires de l'armée na- tionale. On suivra également les mêmes règles en ce qui concerne les pièces relatives à la constatation des décès, ainsi que pour l'inhu- mation des prisonniers de guerre, en tenant compte de leur grade et de leur rang. A R T I C L E 2 0 . Après la conclusion de la paix, le rapatriement des prisonniers de §uerre s'effectuera dans le plus ref délai possible. C H A P I T R E I I I . — D e s malades et des blessés. A R T I C L E 2 1 . Les obligations des belligérants concernant le service des malades et des blessés sont régies par la Convention de Genève. SECTION I I . — D E S HOSTILITÉS. C H A P I T R E I . — D e s moyens de nuire à l'ennemi, des sièges et des bombardements. A R T I C L E 2 2 . Les belligérants n'ont pas un droit illimité quant au choix des moyens de nuire à l'ennemi. A R T I C L E 15 . Prisoners of war shall enjoy complete liberty in the exercise of their religion, including attend- ance at the services of whatever Church they may belong to, on the sole condition that they com- ply with the measures of order and police issued by the military authorities. * A R T I C L E 19 . The wills of prisoners of war are received or drawn up in the same way as for soldiers of the national army. The same rules shall be ob- served regarding death certifi- cates as well as for the burial of prisoners of war, due regard being paid to their grade and rank. A R T I C L E 2 0 . After the conclusion of peace, the repatriation of prisoners of war shall be carried out as quickly as possible. CHAPTER- I I I . — The Sick and Wounded. A R T I C L E 2 1 . The obligations of belligerents with regard to the sick and wounded are governed by the Geneva Convention. SECTION I I . — H O S T I L I T I E S . CHAPTER I . — M e a n s of Injuring the Enemy, Sieges, and Bom- bardments. A R T I C L E 2 2 . The right of belligerents to adopt means of injuring the enemy is not unlimited. 31 A R T I C L E 15. A R T I C L E 15. Outre les prohibitions établies par des conventions spéciales, il est notamment interdit: a. d'employer du poison ou des armes empoisonnées; b. de tuer ou de blesser par trahison des individus ap- partenant à la nation ou à l'armée ennemie; c. de tuer ou de blesser un en- nemi qui, ayant mis bas les armes ou n'ayant plus les moyens de se défen- dre, s'est rendu à discre- tion; d. de déclarer qu'il ne sera pas fait de quartier; e. d'employer des armes, des projectiles ou des matières propres à causer des maux superflus; / . d'user indûment du pavil- lon par lementa i re , du pavillon national ou des insignes militaires et de l'uniforme de l'ennemi, ainsi que des signes dis- tinctifs de la Convention de Genève; g. de détruire ou de saisir des propriétés ennemies, sauf les cas où ces destructions ou ces saisies seraient im- périeusement comman- dées par les nécessités de la guerre; h. de déclarer éteints, sus- pendus ou non recevables en justice, les droits et ac- tions des nationaux de la Partie adverse. Il est également interdit à un belligérant de forcer les nationaux de la Partiè adverse à prendre part aux opérations de guerre dirigées contre leur pays, même dans le cas où ils auraient été à son service avant le commence- ment de la guerre. In addition to the prohibitions provided by special Conventions, it is especially forbidden— (a.) To employ poison or poi- soned weapons; (b.) To kill or wound treach- erously individuals be- longing to the hostile nation or army, (c.) To kill or wound an enemy who, having laid down his arms, or having no longer means of defence, has surrendered at dis- cretion ; (d.) To declare that no quarter will be given; («.) To employ arms, projec- tiles, or material calcu- lated to cause unneces- sary suffering; (f.) To make improper use of a flag of truce, of the national flag, or of the military insignia and uniform of the enemy, as well as the distinctive badges of the Geneva Convention; (g.) To destroy or seize the enemy's property, un- less such destruction or seizure be imperatively demanded by the neces- sities of war; (h.) To declare abolished, sus- pended, or inadmissible in a Court of law the rights and actions of the nationals of the hostile party. A belligerent is likewise for- bidden to compel the nationals of the hostile party to take part in the operations of war directed against their own country, even if they were in the belligerent's service before the commencement of the war. 32 A R T I C L E 15. Les ruses de guerre et l'emploi des moyens nécessaires pour se {>rocurer des renseignements sur 'ennemi et sur le terrain sont con- sidérés comme licites. A R T I C L E 2 5 . Il est interdit d'attaquer ou de bombarder, par quelque moyen que ce soit, des villes, villages, habitations ou bâtiments qui ne sont pas défendus. A R T I C L E 2 6 . Le commandant des troupes as- saillantes, avant d'entreprendre le bombardement, et sauf le cas d'attaque de vive force, devra faire tout ce qui dépend de lui pour en avertir les autorités. A R T I C L E 2 7 . Dans les sièges et bombarde- ments, toutes les mesures néces- saires doivent être prises pour épargner, autant que possible, les édifices consacrés aux cultes, aux arts, aux sciences et à la bienfai- sance, les monuments historiques, les hôpitaux et les lieux de ras- semblement de malades et de bles- sés, à condition qu'ils ne soient pas employés en même temps à un but militaire. Le devoir des assiégés est de désigner ces édifices ou lieux de rassemblement par des signes vi- sibles spéciaux qui seront notifiés d'avance à l'assiégeant. A R T I C L E 2 8 . Il est interdit de livrer au pil- lage une ville ou localité même prise d'assaut. A R T I C L E 15. Ruses of war and the employ- ment of measures necessary for obtaining information about the enemy and the country are con- sidered permissible. A R T I C L E 2 5 . The attack or bombardment, by whatever means, of towns, vil- lages, dwellings, or buildings which are undefended is pro- hibited. A R T I C L E 2 6 . The officer in command of an attacking force must, before com- mencing a bombardment, except in cases of assault, do all in his power to warn the authorities. A R T I C L E 2 7 . In sieges and bombardments all necessary steps must be taken to spare, as far as possible, build- ings dedicated to religion, art, ,science, or charitable purposes, historic monuments, hospitals, and places where the sick and wounded are collected, provided they are not being used at the time for military purposes. It is the duty of the besieged to indicate the presence of such buildings or places by distinctive and visible signs, which shall be notified to the enemy beforehand. A R T I C L E 2 8 . The pillage of a town or place, even when taken by assault, is prohibited. 33 CHAPITRE I I . — D e s espions. A R T I C L E 2 9 . Ne peut être considéré comme espion que l'individu qui, agissant clandestinement ou sous de faux prétextes, recueille ou cherche à recueillir des informations dans la zône d'opérations d'un belligérant, avec l'intention de les communi- quer à la Partie adverse. Ainsi les militaires non dé- guisés qui ont pénétré dans la zône d'opérations de l'armée en- nemie, à l'effet de recueillir des informations, ne sont pas con- sidérés comme espions. De même, ne sont pas considérés comme espions: les militaires et les non militaires, accomplissant ouvertement leur mission, chargés de transmettre des dépêches des- tinées, soit à leur propre armée, soit à l'armée ennemie. A cette catégorie appartiennent égale- ment les individus envoyés en ballon pour transmettre les dé- pêches, et, en général, pour en- tretenir les communications entre les diverses parties d'une armée ou d'un territoire. A R T I C L E 3 0 . L'espion pris sur le fait ne pourra être puni sans jugement préalable. A R T I C L E 3 1 . L'espion qui, ayant rejoint l'armée à laquelle il appartient, est capturé plus tard par l'enne- mi, est traité comme prisonnier de guerre et n'encourt aucune responsabilité pour ses actes d'espionnage antérieurs. CHAPITRE III.—Des parlemen- taires. A R T I C L E 3 2 . Est considéré comme parle- mentaire l'individu autorisé par CHAPTER I I . — S p i e s . A R T I C L E 2 9 . A person can only be considered a spy when, acting clandestinely or on false pretences, he obtains or endeavours to obtain information in the zone of operations of a bel- ligerent, with the intention of communicating it to the hostile party. Thus, soldiers not wearing a disguise who have penetrated mto the zone of operations of the hos- tile army, for the purpose of ob- taining mformation, are not con- sidered spies. Similarly, the fol- lowing are not considered spies: Soldiers and civilians, carrying out their mission openly, in- trusted with the delivery of des- patches intended either for their own army or for the enemy's army. To this class belong like- wise persons sent in balloons for the purpose of carrying des- patches and, generally, of main- taining communications between the different parts of an army or a territory. A R T I C L E 3 0 . A spy taken in the act shall not be punished without previous trial. A R T I C L E 3 1 . A spy who, after rejoining the army to which he belongs, is sub- sequently captured by the enemy, is treated as a prisoner of war, and incurs no responsibility for his previous acts of espionage. CHAPTER III.—Flags of Truce. A R T I C L E 3 2 . A person is regarded as bearing a flag of truce who has been 34 l'un des belligérants à entrer en pourparlers avec l'autre et se pré- sentant avec le drapeau blanc. Il a droit à l'inviolabilité ainsi que le trompette, clairon ou tambour, le porte-drapeau et l'interprète qui l'accompagneraient. A R T I C L E 3 3 . authorized by one of the belliger- ents to enter into communication with the other, and who advances bearing a white flag. He has a right to inviolability, as well as the trumpeter, bugler or drum- mer, the flag-bearer and inter- preter who may accompany him. A R T I C L E 3 3 . Le chef auquel un parlemen- taire est expédié n'est pas obligé de le recevoir en toutes circons- tances. Il peut prendre toutes les me- sures nécessaires afin d'empêcher le parlementaire de profiter de sa mission pour se renseigner. Il a le droit, en cas d'abus, de retenir temporairement le parle- mentaire. A R T I C L E 3 4 . The commander to whom a flag of truce is sent is not in all cases obliged to receive it. He may take all the necessary steps to prevent the envoy taking advantage of his mission to obtain information. In case of abuse, he has the right to detain the envoy tempo- rarily. A R T I C L E 3 4 . Le parlementaire perd ses droits d'inviolabilité, s'il est prouvé, d'une manière positive et irré- cusable, qu'il a profité de sa posi- tion privilégiée pour provoquer ou commettre un acte de trahison. The envoy loses his rights of inviolability if it is proved in a clear and incontestable manner that he has taken advantage of his privileged position to provoke or commit an act of treacnery. CHAPITRE I V . — D e s capitulations. CHAPTER IV.—Capitulations. A R T I C L E 3 5 . A R T I C L E 3 5 . Les capitulations arrêtées entre les Parties contractantes doivent tenir compte des règles de l'hon- neur militaire. Une fois fixées, elles doivent être scrupuleusement observées par les deux Parties. CHAPITRE V . — D e l'armistice. A R T I C L E 3 6 . L'armistice suspend les opéra- tions de guerre par un accord mutuel des Parties belligérantes. Si la durée n'en est pas déter- minée, les Parties belligérantes peuvent reprendre en tout temps Capitulations agreed upon between the contracting parties must take into account the rules of military honour. Once settled, they must be scrupulously observed by both parties. CHAPTER V.—Armistices. A R T I C L E 3 6 . An armistice suspends military operations by mutual agreement between the belligerent parties. If its duration is not defined, the belligerent parties may resume operations at any time, provided 35 les opérations, pourvu toutefois que 1 ennemi soit averti en temps convenu, conformément aux con- ditions de l'armistice. A R T I C L E 3 7 . L'armistice peut être général ou local. Le premier suspend partout les opérations de guerre des Etats belligérants; le second, seulement entre certaines frac- tions des armées belligérantes et dans un rayon déterminé. A R T I C L E 3 8 . L'armistice doit être notifié officiellement et en temps utile aux autorités compétentes et aux troupes. Les hostilités sont sus- pendues immédiatement après la notification ou au terme flxé. A R T I C L E 3 9 . Il dépend des Parties contrac- tantes de fixer, dans les clauses de l'armistice, les rapports qui pour- raient avoir lieu, sur le théâtre de la guerre, avec les populations et entre elles. A R T I C L E 4 0 . Toute violation grave de l'ar- mistice, par l'une des Parties, donne à l'autre le droit de le dé- noncer et même, en cas d'urgence, de reprendre immédiatement les hostilités. A R T I C L E 4 1 . La violation des clauses de l'armistice, par des particuliers agissant de leur propre initiative, donne droit seulement à réclamer la punition des coupables et, s'il y a lieu, une indemnité pour les pertes éprouvées. always that the enemy is warned withm the time agreed upon, in accordance with the terms of, the armistice. A R T I C L E 3 7 , An armistice may be general or local. The first suspends the military operations of the bellig- erent States everywhere ; the sec- ond only between certain frac- tions of the belligerent armies and within a fixed radius. A R T I C L E 3 8 . An armistice must be notified officially and in good time to the competent authorities and to the troops. Hostilities are suspended immediately after the notifica- tion, or on the dale fixed. A R T I C L E 3 9 . It rests with the contracting parties to settle, in the terms of the armistice, what communica- tions may be held in the theatre of war with the inhabitants and between the inhabitants of one belligerent State and those of the other. A R T I C L E 4 0 . Any serious violation of the armistice by one of the parties gives the other party the right of denouncing it, and even, in cases of urgency, of recommencing hos- tilities immediately. A R T I C L E 4 1 . A violation of the terms of the armistice by private persons act- ing on their own initiative only entitles the injured party to de- mand the punishment of the offenders or, if ' necessary, com- pensation for the losses sustained. 36 SECTION I I I . — D E L ' A U T O R I T É M I L I T A I R E SUR LE T E R R I T O I R E DE L ' E T A T E N N E M I . A R T I C L E 4 2 . Un territoire est considéré comme occupé lorsqu'il se trouve f)lacé de fait sous l'autorité de 'armée ennemie. L'occupation ne s'étend qu'aux territoires où cette autorité est établie et en mesure de s'exercer. A R T I C L E 4 3 . L'autorité du pouvoir légal ayant passé de fait entre les mains de l'occupant, celui-ci pren- dra toutes les mesures qui dépen- dent de lui en vue de rétablir et d'assurer, autant qu'il est possible, l'ordre et la vie publics en res- pectant, sauf empêchement ab- solu, les lois en vigueur dans le pays. A R T I C L E 4 4 . Il est interdit à un belligérant de forcer la population d'un ter- ritoire occupé à donner des ren- seignements sur l'armée de l'autre belligérant ou sur ses moyens de défense. A R T I C L E 4 5 . Il est interdit de contraindre la population d'un territoire occupé à prêter serment à la Puissance ennemie. A R T I C L E 4 6 . L'honneur et les droits de la famille, la vie des individus et la propriété privée, ainsi que les convictions religieuses et l'exer- cice des cultes, doivent être respectés. La propriété privée ne peut pas être confisquée. SECTION I I I . — M I L I T A R Y A U - THORITY OVER THE T E R R I T O R Y OF THE H O S T I L E STATE. A R T I C L E 4 2 . Territory is considered occupied when it is actually placed under the authority of the hostile army. The occupation extends only to the territory where such authority has been established and can be exercised. ARTICLE 4 3 . The authority of the legitimate power having in fact passed into the hands of the occupant, the latter shall take all the measures in his power to restore, and en- sure, as far as possible, public or- der and safety, while respecting, unless absolutely prevented, the laws in force in the country. A R T I C L E 4 4 . A belligérant is forbidden to force the inhabitants of territory occupied by it to furnish informa- tion about the army of the other belligerent, or about its means of defence. A R T I C L E 4 5 . It is forbidden to compel the in- habitants of occupied territory to swear allegiance to the hostile Power. A R T I C L E 4 6 .

Private property cannot be confiscated. 37 A R T I C L E 4 7 . Le pillage est formellement in- terdit. A R T I C L E 4 8 . Si l'occupant prélève, dans le territoire occupé, les impôts, droits et péages établis au profit de l'Etat, il le fera, autant que possi- ble, d'après les règles de l'assiette et de la répartition en vigueur, et il en résultera pour lui l'obligation de pourvoir aux frais de l'adminis- tration du territoire occupé dans la mesure où le Gouvernement lé- gal y était tenu. A R T I C L E 4 9 . Si, en dehors des impôts visés à l'article précédent, 1 occupant prélève d'autres contributions en argent dans le territoire occupé., ce ne pourra être que pour les besoins de l'armée ou de l'ad- ministration de ce territoire. A R T I C L E 5 0 . Aucune peine collective, pécu- niaire ou autre, ne pourra être édictée contre les populations à raison de faits individuels dont elles ne pourraient être considé- rées comme solidairement res- ponsables. A R T I C L E 5 1 . Aucune contribution ne sera perçue qu'en vertu d'un ordre écrit et sous la responsabilité d'un général en chef. Il ne sera procédé, autant que possible, à cette perception que d'après les règles de l'assiette et de la répartition des impôts en vigueur. Pour toute contribution, un reçu sera délivré aux contribua- bles. A R T I C L E 4 7 . Pillage is formally forbidden. A R T I C L E 4 8 . If, in the territory occupied, the occupant collects the taxes, dues, and tolls imposed for the benefit of the State, he shall do so, as far as is possible, in accordance with the rules of assessment and incidence in force, and shall in consequence be bound to defray the expenses of the administration of the occu- pied territory to the same extent as the legitimate Government was so bound. A R T I C L E 4 9 . • If, in addition to the taxes men- tioned in the above Article, the occupant levies other money con- tributions in the occupied terri- tory, this shall only be for the needs of the army or of the admin- istration of the territory in ques- tion. A R T I C L E 5 0 . No general penalty, pecuniary or otherwise, shall be inflicted upon the population on account of the acts of individuals for which they cannot be regarded as jointly and severally responsible. A R T I C L E 5 1 . No contribution shall be col- lected except under a written order, and on the responsibility of a Commander-in-chief. The collection of the said con- tribution shall only be effected as far as possible in accordance with the rules of assessment and inci- dence of the taxes in force. For every contribution a re- ceipt shall be given to the con- tributors. 38 A R T I C L E 47. Des réquisitions en nature et des services ne pourront être réclamés des communes ou des habitants, que pour les besoins de l'armée d'occupation. Ils seront en rapport avec les ressources du pays et de telle nature qu'ils n'impliquent pas pour les popula- tions l'obligation de prendre part aux opérations de la guerre contre leur patrie. Ces réquisitions et ces services ne seront réclamés qu'avec l'au- torisation ' du commandant dans la localité occupée. Les prestations en nature se- ront, autant que possible, payées au comptant; sinon, elles seront constatées par des reçus, et le paie- ment des sommes 'dues sera effec- tué le plus tôt possible. A R T I C L E 5 3 . L'armée qui occupe un terri- toire ne pourra saisir que le nu- méraire, les fonds et les valeurs exigibles appartenant en propre à l'Etat, les dépôts d'armes, moyens de transport, magasins et approvi- sionnements et, en général, toute propriété mobilière de l'Etat de nature à servir aux opérations de la guerre. Tous les moyens affectés sur terre, sur mer et dans les airs à la transmission des nouvelles, au transport des personnes ou des choses, en dehors des cas régis par le droit maritime, les dépôts d'armes et, en général, toute espèce de munitions de guerre, peuvent être saisis, même s'ils appartiennent à des personnes privées, mais devront être resti- tués et les indemnités seront ré- glées à la paix.

Requisitions in kind and serv- ices shall not be demanded from municipalities or inhabitants ex- cept for the needs of the army of occupation. They shall be in proportion to the resources of the country, and of such a nature as not to involve the inhabitants in the obligation of taking part in military operations against their own country. Such requisitions and services shall only be demanded on the authority of the commander in the locality occupied. Contributions in kind shall as far as possible be paid for in cash ; if not, a receipt shall be given and the payment of the amount due shall be made as soon as possible. A R T I C L E 5 3 . An army of occupation can only take possession of cash, funds, and realizable securities which are strictly the property of the State, dépôts of arms, means of transport, stores and supplies, and, generally, all movable prop- erty belonging to the State which may be used for military opera- tions.

On April 5 at 3 o'clock p.m., V.M.Molotov, the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the USSR -, received Mr. N. SATO, the Japanese Embassador, and on behalf of the Soviet Government made the following statement; "The neutrality pact between the Soviet Union and Japan had been concluded on April 13, 1941, i.e., before Germany attacked the USSR and before the war broke out betw e en à 'apan on one side and Britain and the United States on the other, "From that time on the situation changed completely. Germany attacked the USSR, and Japan, the ally of Ger- many, helps the latter in her war against the USSR. Besides Japan wages war against the USA and Britain, the allies of the Soviet Union. "Under these circumstances the neutrality pact between Japan and the USSR lost its meaning, and the prolongation of this pact has become impossible. "In accordance with the above said, and according to Article 3 of the said pact, which provides for the right of denunciation, one year prior to the expiration of the five year term of the pact, the Soviet Government informs herewith the Government of Japan of the wish to denounce the pact of April 1 3 , 1941." Mr. N. SATO promised to inform the Japanese Government of the declaration made by the Soviet Government.

(Sgd) V. Tarkhov Doc. No. 232 (From the declaration made by the Soviet Government to the Government of Japan on August 8, 1945, the "Pravda" August 9, 1945.) DECLARATION OF THE SOVIET GOVERNMENT TO TIIE GOVERNMENT OF On August 8, V.M.Molotov, the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the USSR? received Mr. SATO, the Japanese Ambassadorj and on behalf of the Soviet Government made the following statement to him to be communicated to the Govern- ment of Japan; "After the rout and capitulation of the Hilterite Germany, Japan is the only great power which is still for the continuation of the war. "The demand of the unconditional surrender of the Japanese Armed Forces made by the Three Powers - the United States of America, Great Britain and China - on July 26, this year was declined by Japan. Thus the proposal made by the Japanese Government to the Soviet Union continaing the request of mediation in the war in the Far East loses all ground. "Taking into consideration the fact that Japan re- fused to surrender, the Allied Powers made a proposal to the Soviet Government to join the war against the Japanese aggression and thus to shorten the period of time necessary to end the war, to reduce the number of victims, and to contribute to the speedy restoration of peace in the world. True to the allied cause, the Soviet Government accepted the proposal made by the Allied Powers and joined the declaration of the Allied Powers made on July 26, thisyear. "The Soviet Government believes that such a policy of its is the only way to bring nearer the advent of peace, to free the nations from further sacrifices and sufferings, and to give a chance to the Japanese people to avoid those dangers and damages, which were suffered by Germany, after she had declined theunconditional capitulation. On the basis of the above said, the Soviet Government declares, that from tomorrow, i.e., August 9, the Soviet Union will consider herself to be in a state of war against Japan. August 8, 1945" V.M.Molotov also told Mr. SATO that simultaneously the Soviet Ambassador in Tokyo, Y. A. Malik, would hand the present declaration of the Soviet Government to the Japanese Government.

No. 234 (China asks League of Nations to Apply Article XVII-II September 1938) COMMUNICATION FROM THE CHINESE DELEGATION Geneva, September 11, 1938 On September 12th, 1937? precisely a year ago, I had the honour in the name of the Chinese Government to in- form you of the fact of Japan's armed invasion of China and to invoke Articles 10, 11 aid 17 of the Covenant in order that the Council might forthwith take effective action to deal with the grave situation thus created by the Japan- ese aggression. The League of Nations through Its differ- ent organs, namely, the Assembly, th<ï Council and the Ad- visory Comrittee on the Far Eastern situation has since adopted a number of resolutions, all of which in their prin- cipal provisions, however, remain unexecuted or ineffective. But the hostilities which Japan started against China fourteen months ago have not only seen no abatement but, on the contrary, are being pursued on an ever extending scale and with increased intensity and ruthlessness. It is the firm conviction of the Chinese Government that in the inter- est of the League itself and the general cause of peace, as well as in justice to China, the provisions of Article 17 of the Covenant should be applied to the present situation in the Far East without further delay. By instructions of my Government I have the honour, therefore, to request the Council to give immediate effect to Article 17 of the Covenant, which the Council has hitherto failed p6 apply but v/hich, in the opinion of the Chinese Governments provides the most relevant procedure for effective action by the League in the present case. I have the honour to be, etc. (Signed) V. K. WELLINGTON K00 First Delegate of China Doc. No. 236 (Japan Refuses Invitation to Sit with League of Nations - 22 September 1938) (Translation) Tokyo, September 22d,1938„ I hasten to acknowledge receipt of your telegram of September 19th, 1938, transmitting the invitation, pro- vided for by the first sentence of Article 1? of the Covenant, which has been addressed to the Imperial Govern- ment by the Council of the League of Nations. The Imperial Government is firmly convinced that means such as those laid down in the Covenant cannot provide a just and adequate solution of the present conflict between Japan and China, and its attitude in this connection has been clearly stated on many occasions. I have therefore the honour to inform you that, for this reason, the Imperial Government regrets its inability to accept the Council's invitation. K. UGAKI Japanese Minister for Foreign Affairs. DOC. 237 JAPAN'S NOTICE 07 WITHDRAWAL PROM LEAGUE 27 March 1933. The Japanese Government "believe that- th°. rational policy of J^pan, which has for its aim to \j-sure 'he peace of th = Orient and thereby to contribute to the cause of peace throughout the world, is Identical in cjirit with the ni s si on of the League of Hâtions, wiij c.h is to achieve international peace and security. It has always "been with p2 r - y.:.ra. ther^lore, -that this country has for thirteen years past, as an original Keriber of the League, and a permanent Member of its Council, extended a i'aili measure of coopérât ion with her fellow-Members towards the attainment of its h'.gh purpose. Et ib inôeed a matter of historical fact that Japan has continuously participated in the various activities of the League with a zeal not inferioi GO that exhibited by any other nation. At the same time, it is and has always teen the conviction of the Japanese Government that in order to render possible the maintenance of. peace in various regions of the world, it is necessary in oxi siting circumstances to allow the operation of the Covenant of the League to vary in acco.-:dance with the actual conditions pre- vailing in each ot these regions, Only by acting on this just and equitable principle can the League fulfil its mission and increase its influence. Acting on this conviction, the Japanese Government, ever since the Sino- Japanese dispute was, in September, 1931, submitted to the League, have, at meetings of the League and on other occasions continually set forward a con- sistent view. This was, that if the League was to settle the issue fairly and equitably, and to make a real contribution to the promotion of peace in the Orient, and thus enhance its prestige, it should acquire a complete grasp of the actual conditions in this quarter of the globe and apply the Covenant of the League in accordance with tnese condition-. They have repeatedly emphasized and insisted upon the absolute necessity of taking -j rto consideration the fact that China is not an organised State— that its internal conditions and external relations are characterised by extreme confusion and complexity, and by many abnormal and exceptional features--and that, accordingly, the general principals and usages of International Law which govern the ordinary relatione between nations are found to "be considerably codified in their operation BO far as China is concerned, resulting m the quite abnormal and unique international practices which actually prevail in that country. However, the majority of the Members of the League evinced in the course of its deliberations daring the past seventeen months a failure either to grasp these realities or else to face them and take them into proper account. More- over, it has frequently been made manifest in these deliberations that there exist serious differences of opinion between Japan and these Powers concerning the application arid even the interpretation of various international engagements and obligations including the Co'vouaac- ox the League and the principles of International Law. .as a result, the Report adopted by the Assembly at the special session of ?A February last, entirely misapprehending the spirit of Japan, pervaded as it îs by no other desire than the maintenance of peace in the Orient, contains gioss errors both in the ascertainment of facts and in the conclusions deduced. In asserting that the action of the Japanese Army at the time of the Incident of 18 September and subsequently did not fail within the just limits of self-defence, the Report assigned no reasons and came to an DOC. 237 - 2 - arbitrary conclusion, and in ignoring alike the state of tension which proceeded, and the various aggravations which succeeded, the Incident—for all of which the full responsibility is incumbent upon China—the Report creates a source of fresh conflict in the political arena of the Crient. By refusing to acknowledge the actual circumstances that led to the foundation of Manchukuo, and "by attempting to challenge the position taken up >y Japan in recognizing the new State, it cuts away the ground for the stabilization of the Far Eastern situation. Nor can the terms laid down in its recommendations—as was fully explained in the Statement issued "by this Government on 25 February last—ever be of any possible service in securing enduring peace in these regions. The conclusion must be that in seeking a solution of the question the majority of the League have attached greater importance to upholding inapplicable formulas than to the real task of assuring peace, and higher value to the vindication of academic theses than to the eradication of the sources of future conflict. For these reasons, and bedauëe of the profound differences of opinion existing between Japan and the majority of the League in their interpretation of the Covenant and of other treaties, the Japanese Government hp.ve been led to realize the existence of an irreconcilable divergence of views, dividing Japan and the League on policies of peace, and especially as regards the fundamental principles to be followed in the establishment of a durable peace in the Far East. The Japanese Government, believing that in these circumstances there remains no room for further cooperation, hereby give notice, in accordance with the provisions of Article 1, Paragraph 3, of the Covenant, of the intention of Japan to withdraw from the League of Nations.

The present official, in conforming to the instructions of the Imperial G-overnment, has the honor to notify you of its décision to cease its collaboration vis-a-vis the various organizations of the League of Nations which it has continued after its withdrawal from the League, in consideration of the state newly created "between the League and the Empire, as the result of the adoption on 30th September by the Board of Directors of the League of Nations, of the Report advising that the regulation of Art. 16 is to be applied to the Empire following Art. 17—ci. 3 of the Covenant of the League of 'Nations.
