The Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance was signed in 1947 in Rio de Janeiro, during the Inter-American Conference for the Maintenance of Peace and Security in the Continent. Member countries agree to agree on their actions against a State that attacks another member. The document recognizes responses to attacks, from economic sanctions to the use of force in an act of collective defense.
The agreement also allows action to be taken against any other fact or situation that could endanger the peace of America.
