Pan American Conference


Pan American Conference

Gustavo Chacon, Bolivia's foreign minister, signs a pact during the Inter-American Conference on the Problems of War and Peace, held in Mexico City in 1945. During the conference, the Act of Chapultepec was drawn up and passed to prevent conflict in the Western Hemisphere. The act called for a unified response to acts of aggression against American states, including belligerence initiated by another American state.
