A request! If there's anyone out there with some decent information on this, could they add the signatories to the treaty to this article. --Brianpie 14:15, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] bombing from the air?
The article mentions that "bombing from the air" is prohibited by the convention but the description of the particular sections of the treaty seems to imply that only bombing from balloons is prohibited, not any all air bombing. If all "bombing from the air" was indeed prohibited then this would make all the bombs dropped from planes during WWII, Korean War, Vietnam War, Iraq War, etc. Illegal under international law. I have never heard that position argued. This needs to be cleared up. --Cab88 14:37, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not too sure about this one; perhaps someone has the text of the treaty or a good summary handy? There wasn't much in the way of planes in 1899, so that may not have been anticipated. As for whether this would prohibit the aerial bombings in wars since then, that's a moot point, since the 1907 convention superseded the 1899 convention among countries who ratified it, and the 1907 one contained no section prohibiting aerial bombing of any sort, effectively repealing that section of the 1899 one. --Delirium 21:58, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
The link for the countries that signed is http://travel.state.gov/family/adoption/convention/convention_461.html —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 206.170.111.2 (talk • contribs).
Thanks for trying 206.170.111.2, but the link is to the Hague Convention on the Abduction of Children, a late 20th century convention. Would still be interested if anyone is able to provide information on the signatories. Brianpie 21:15, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
--- I think their ought to be a mention at least of the Korean emissary Yi Jun who was sent by King Kojong to the conference. Upon refusal of admittance to the conference, he committed suicide in the Hague. This led to King Kojong being forced to abdicate by the Japanese, since Korea was at that time a protectorate of Japan and had lost all diplomatic rights.
[edit] abandoned article
Would anyone merge Peace Conferences to this article? Redirecting as well. Thanks. - Brionies 13:17, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
