III
THE HAGUE PEACE CONFERENCE

[An international conference of representatives of the principal

powers of the world assembled at The Hague, May 18th, 1899, in
response to a call issued by the Czar of Russia with a view to
concerted action in regard to an amelioration of the hardships of war,
the furtherance of the principle of the arbitration of international
disputes, the maintenance of a general peace and the possible
reduction of the world’s military and naval armaments. The states
represented were Germany, Austria-Hungary, Belgium, China,
Japan, France, Mexico, the United States, Great Britain, Sweden
and Norway, Denmark, Russia, Spain, Italy, Servia, Siam, the
Netherlands, Rumania, Turkey, Bulgaria, Greece, Switzerland,
Luxembourg, Persia and Portugal. Sessions continued until July
29th, when the delegates embodied the conclusions reached in a
final act for submission to the several states represented. This final
act consisted of three conventions, three formal declarations and a
series of six resolutions. The resolutions embodied an expression of
the desire that certain unsettled points in regard to neutrals,
contraband and so forth might be passed upon by an international
tribunal at an early date. The conventions were (1) For the pacific
settlement of international conflicts; (2) Regarding the laws and
customs of war by land; (3) For the adaptation to maritime warfare of
the principles of the Geneva Convention, August 22nd, 1864. The
declarations had to do with (1) The prohibition of launching
explosives and projectiles from balloons; (2) The prohibition of the
use of projectiles diffusing poisonous gases; (3) The prohibition of
the use of expanding or flattening bullets. The Conventions were
signed at once by 16 powers, Germany, Great Britain, Austria-
Hungary, Japan, Italy, and several minor powers, withholding their
assent temporarily but finally accepting them.]
