===The Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance (Rio Pact)=== The [[Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance]], signed in Rio de Janeiro on September 2, 1947, included a clear definition of aggression. Article 9 stated: <blockquote>In addition to other acts which the Organ of Consultation may characterize as aggression, the following shall be considered as such:{{ordered list|list_style_type=lower-alpha | Unprovoked armed attack by a State against the territory, the people, or the land, sea or air forces of another State; | Invasion, by the armed forces of a State, of the territory of an American State, through the trespassing of boundaries demarcated in accordance with a treaty, judicial decision, or arbitral award, or, in the absence of frontiers thus demarcated, invasion affecting a region which is under the effective jurisdiction of another State.<ref>[http://www.oas.org/juridico/english/Treaties/b-29.html The Rio Pact]</ref>}} </blockquote>
