ABSTRACT
The League of Nations, which arose in 1919 as a result of the Great War (1914–1918), represented a multilateral organization without historical precedents, which came to reformulate the traditional modus operandi of international relations. Its fundamental aim was to prevent the recurrence of a disaster of such magnitude, through public diplomacy – avoiding the traditional secret diplomacy, widely responsible for the drift toward the First World War. It was based on a system of collective security whose ultimate legal expression was the founding the Covenant of the LoN itself. A Covenant that in its print guaranteed national sovereignty, territorial integrity, and political independence of the member states of the organization.
