The Treaty of Versailles was a peace treaty that officially ended World War I. It was signed on June 28, 1919, exactly 5 years after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, one of the events that triggered the start of the war. Although the armistice signed on November 11, 1918 put an end to the actual fighting, it took six months of negotiations at the Paris Peace Conference to conclude a peace treaty. Of the many provisions in the treaty, one of the most important and controversial provisions required Germany and its allies to accept full responsibility for causing the war and, under the terms of articles 231-248, disarm, make substantial territorial concessions and pay reparations to certain countries that had formed the Entente powers. 1, record 2, English, - Treaty%20of%20Versailles

Le Traité de Versailles de 1919 est le traité de paix entre l'Allemagne et les Alliés de la Première Guerre mondiale. Élaboré au cours de la conférence de Paris, le traité fut signé le 28 juin 1919 à 11h et 11 min, dans la galerie des Glaces du château de Versailles et promulgué le 10 janvier 1920. Il annonce la création d'une Société des Nations et détermine les sanctions prises à l'encontre de l'Allemagne. Celle-ci, qui n'était pas représentée au cours de la conférence, se vit privée de ses colonies et d'une partie de ses droits militaires, amputée de certains territoires et astreinte à de lourdes réparations économiques. 2, record 2, French, - Trait%C3%A9%20de%20Versailles

The Martens Clause is indisputably one of the contemporary legal myths of the international community. Being particularly ambiguous, it has been variously interpreted. The author dismisses the more radical interpretation whereby the clause upgrades to the rank of sources of international law the "laws of humanity" and the "dictates of public conscience". The other, less extreme interpretation, whereby the clause merely serves to reject a possible a contrario argument, is equally without merit. He suggests that the clause was essentially conceived of, at the 1899 Hague Peace Conference, as diplomatic gimmick intended to break a deadlock in the negotiations between smaller and Great Powers. The clause could nevertheless be given a twofold legal significance. First, it could operate at the interpretative level : incase of doubt international rules of humanitarian law should be construed in a manner consonant with standards of humanity and the demands of public conscience. Secondly, the clause, while operating within the existing system of international sources, could serve to loosen-in relation solely to the specific field of humanitarian law-the requirements prescribed for usus whilst at the same time raising opinio to a rank higher than normarly admitted. 2, record 4, English, - Martens%20clause
