Weakness of LON
Structural weakness
-
-
Hard to take effective action as hhe League required all countries the Council and a 2/3 majority in the Assembly to agree
With so many nations represented in the League, it was extremely difficult to get all nations to agree on any decision
-
-
Lack of authority
Economic sanctions
The League was supposed to limit or stop trade with the offending country so the offending country would comply to the league's measures
League members did not want their economy to be affected and offending nation could just leave the league if they were unhappy with the league
-
Without any authority to impose economic sanctions to deter the behavior of the offending countries, LoN would merely give a verbal warning and the offending countries would become bolder over time
Military sanctions
LoN did not have an army to enforce its measures and its members were not willing to get involved as they were still recovering from WW1
This caused the league to fail as the league could not impose its measures to deter offending and aggressive countries
