This third resolution states that “The signato realizing the practical impossibility of using submarines as commerce de- stroyers without violating, as they were violated in the recent war of 1914-1918, the requirements univers- ally accepted by civilized nations for the protection of the lives of trals and non-combatants, and to the end that the prohibition of tl submarines as Commerce destroyers shall be universally ccepted as part of the law of nations they now accept that prohibition as henceforth binding as themselves and they invite all here thereto.” Trom the discussion of this ques- tion it is seen that no provision is made for punishment of offending na- tions.
