Abstract
The Treaty of Versailles was signed on 28 June 1919, the same day on which the League of Nations was founded withthe principal goals of safeguarding world peace and promoting international cooperation. The League of Nations Covenant,which was included in all of the Paris peace treaties, is regarded as the instrument for monitoring these treaties.The Covenant of the International Labour Organization (ILO) is also part of all Paris peace treaties – its primary aimis to promote universal social justice. Whereas the League failed in securing peace, the ILO continues to be an agencyof the UN.
