Non-aggression pact 744994 224836051 2008-07-10T17:07:59Z Piotrus 59002 dis :''See also: [[Non-aggression Pact (band)]]'' A '''non-aggression pact''' is an international [[treaty]] between two or more states, agreeing to avoid war or armed conflict between them and resolve their disputes through peaceful negotiations. Sometimes such a pact may include a pledge of avoiding armed conflict even if participants find themselves fighting third countries, including allies of one the participants. It was a popular form of international agreement in the 1920s and 1930s, but has largely fallen out of use after the [[Second World War]]. The most famous is the 1939 [[Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact]] between the [[Soviet Union]] and [[Germany]], which lasted until the 1941 German invasion of the Soviet Union in [[Operation Barbarossa]]. Examples of such pacts in history: * [[Peace of Callias]] c. 450 BC * [[Treaty of London (1518)]] * [[Soviet-Polish non-aggression pact]] * [[German-Polish Non-Aggression Pact]] * [[Soviet-French non-aggression pact]] * [[Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact]] 1939 * [[Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact]] During negotiations between the [[United States]] and [[North Korea]] in 2003, North Korea offered to eventually eliminate its nuclear weapons program if both sides signed a non-aggression treaty (along with multiple other conditions). As of this date, however, a nonaggression treaty between the two has yet to be formulated. {{International-law-stub}} ==See also== *[[U.S.-North Korea relations]] [[Category:Treaties| ]] [[Category:International law]] [[de:Nichtangriffspakt]] [[et:Mittekallaletungileping]] [[fr:Pacte de non-agression]] [[it:Patto di non aggressione]] [[nl:Niet-aanvalsverdrag]] [[ja:不可侵条約]] [[pl:Pakt o nieagresji]] [[ro:Pact de neagresiune]] [[fi:Hyökkäämättömyyssopimus]] [[sv:Nonaggressionspakt]]
