This International Congress of Women urges that the organization of the
Society of Nations should be further developed on the basis of a
constructive peace, and that it should include:
_a._ As a development of the Hague Court of Arbitration, a permanent
International Court of Justice to settle questions or differences of a
justifyable character, such as arise on the interpretation of treaty
rights or of the law of nations.
_b._ As a development of the constructive work of the Hague Conference,
a permanent International Conference holding regular meetings in which
women should take part, to deal not with the rules of warfare but with
practical proposals for further International Co-operation among the
States. This Conference should be so constituted that it could formulate
and enforce those principles of justice, equity and goodwill in
accordance with which the struggles of subject communities could be more
fully recognized and the interests and rights not only of the great
Powers and small Nations but also those of weaker countries and
primitive peoples gradually adjusted under an enlightened international
public opinion.
This International Conference shall appoint:
A permanent Council of Conciliation and Investigation for the settlement
of international differences arising from economic competition,
expanding commerce, increasing population and changes in social and
political standards.
