General Treaty of Peace and Amity;
Additional Convention to the General Treaty;
Establishing a Central American Court of Justice;
Extradition;
On Future Conferences (Monetary);
On Communications;
Establishing an International Central American Bureau;
and Establishing a Pedagogical Institute.
The essential provisions of the General Treaty of Peace and
Amity are in the following articles:
"ARTICLE I.
The Republics of Central America consider as one of their
first duties in their mutual relations, the maintenance of
peace; and they bind themselves to always preserve the most
complete harmony, and decide every difference or difficulty
that may arise amongst them, of whatsoever nature it may be,
by means of the Central American Court of Justice, created by
the Convention which they have concluded for that purpose on
this date."
"Article III.
Bearing in mind the central geographical position of Honduras
and the facilities which this circumstance has afforded in
order that its territory should have been most often the
theatre of Central American conflicts, Honduras declares from
now on its absolute neutrality in any event of conflict
amongst the other Republics; and the latter, in their turn,
provided such neutrality be observed, bind themselves to
respect it and in no case to violate the Honduranean
territory.
"ARTICLE IV.
Bearing in mind the advantages which must be gained from the
creation of Central American institutions for the development
of their most vital interests, besides the Pedagogical
Institute and the International Central American Bureau which
have been established according to the Conventions celebrated
to that end by this Conference, the creation of a practical
Agricultural School in the Republic of Salvador, one of Mines
and Mechanics in that of Honduras, and another of Arts and
Trades in that of Nicaragua, is especially recommended to the
Governments.
"ARTICLE V.
In order to cultivate the relations between the States, the
contracting parties obligate themselves each to accredit to
the others a permanent Legation.
"ARTICLE VI.
The citizens of one of the contracting parties, residing in
the territory of any of the others, shall enjoy the same civil
rights as nationals, and shall be considered as citizens in
the country of their residence if they fulfill the conditions
which the respective constituent laws provide. Those that are
not naturalized shall be exempt from obligatory military
service, either by sea or land, and from every forced loan or
military requirement, and they shall not be obliged on any
account to make more contributions or ordinary or
extraordinary imposts than those which nationals pay."
