Quick Summary

The Inter-American Conference for the Maintenance of Peace was a meeting of Western Hemisphere nations held in Buenos Aires in 1936, at the request of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. This conference was part of a series of Pan-American conferences aimed at addressing common concerns and promoting cooperation in the Americas.1

A key outcome of the 1936 conference was the adoption of a draft treaty focused on the peaceful resolution of conflicts between American states. This aligns with the broader goals of Pan-American conferences, which have historically dealt with issues such as arbitration, international law, and hemispheric solidarity. The Montevideo Convention of 1933, signed by many of the same nations, also emphasized peaceful dispute settlement and non-intervention.12
