The Geneva Protocol for the Pacific Settlement of International Disputes was adopted by all 47 members of the League of Nations on 2 October 1924.

The Geneva Protocol for the Pacific Settlement of International Disputes envisaged wide-ranging regulations to bring about general disarmament, effective international security and the compulsory arbitration of disputes. The Geneva Protocol was approved on 2 October 1924 by all the 47 member states of the League of Nations at the 5th General Assembly, but was not ratified by Great Britain the following year under the newly elected government of Stanley Baldwin, with Austen Chamberlain as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (from 1924 to 1929). The Protocol subsequently failed to materialize.
