Summary: The Kellogg-Briand Pact returns! Two law professors from Yale argue that the now-obscure treaty marked a major turning point in world history; prior to its ratification in 1928, war and territorial conquest were entirely legal. In a “New World Order Edition” of Truth Politics and Power, they tell host Neal Conan how an agreement to outlaw war made the world conflagration that erupted only a few years later into a war between the Old World Order and the new, and enabled the Allies to try German and Japanese leaders for an unprecedented crime - waging aggressive war. Since then, war between states and territorial conquest have declined dramatically.
