ARTICLE 24. 



The Second Pan American Scientific Congress is of the firm conviction 

 that, as the idea of direct government by the people grows, 

 it becomes increasingly essential to the well-being of the world 

 that the leaders of opinion in each community be familiar 

 with the duties and obligations as well as with the rights of 

 States, as recognized in international law, and that it has 

 become a patriotic duty resting upon our educational insti- 

 tutions to give as thorough and as extensive courses as possi- 

 ble in international law and related subjects. The Congress 

 therefore recommends 

 I. That steps be taken to extend the study of the subject 



(a) By increasing the number of schools and institutions 

 in which international law and related subjects 

 are taught; 

 (6) By increasing the number of students in attendance 



upon the courses; and 

 (c) By diffusing a knowledge of its principles in each 



American Republic. 



II. That a course in international law, where possible, should con- 

 sist of systematic instruction during at least a full academic 

 year, divided between international law and diplomacy; and 

 III. That prominent experts in international law and diplomacy be 

 invited from time to time to lecture upon these subjects in 

 the institutions of learning of the American Republics.
