Abstract

The procedures outlined in the League Covenant for the imposition of international sanctions were persistently debated, interpreted and reinterpreted during the first 15 years of the League’s existence, revealing members’ disinclination to be committed in advance to action of this kind. Japan’s invasion of Manchuria in 1931 did not lead to League sanctions although a Commission of Enquiry sent by the League Council to study the situation in the Far East reported that Japanese military measures had been unjustified. Recognition of the state of Manchukuo set up by Japan was withheld by the United States and the League but there was no further action. The prolonged Chaco War between Paraguay and Bolivia (1928–38) could also have provided an occasion for a League response but the maximum achieved was a recommendation for an embargo on the sale of arms to both sides.
