XIII. Pact of Cordial Collaboration between the Kingdom of Italy and the Czechoslovak Republic, signed at Rome on the 5th July, 1924.1

The Government of His Majesty the King of Italy and the Government of the Czechoslovak Republic, being anxious to maintain peace and desirous of co-operating to ensure the stability and economic reconstruction of Europe, and being firmly resolved to ensure the maintenance of the international legal and political situation established by the Treaties of Peace, have agreed to conclude the present Pact of Cordial Collaboration, which is a natural consequence of the friendship existing between the two Contracting Parties and of the respect of each for the rights of the other, and to this end have agreed upon the following provisions :

Article 1. The High Contracting Parties will decide in concert upon the measures best designed to protect their common interests in the event of their being agreed as to the existence or possibility of a menace.

Article 2. The two High Contracting Parties undertake to afford mutual support and assistance in order to ensure the maintenance of the situation established by the Treaties of Peace concluded at St. Germain-en-Laye, Trianon and Neuilly, and the observance and fulfilment of the obligations specified in the said Treaties.

Article 3. The present Convention shall remain in force for five years and may be denounced or renewed one year before its expiration.

Article 4. The present Treaty shall be communicated to the League of Nations in accordance with Article 18 of the Covenant.

The present Treaty shall be ratified and the ratifications shall be exchanged at Rome.

It shall come into force immediately upon the exchange of ratifications. In faith whereof the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed this Treaty in duplicate and have thereto fixed their seals.
