Non-Intervention Committee
- Non-Intervention Committee
The purpose of Non-Intervention Committee (1936-1939) was to prevent personnel and matériel reaching the warring parties of the Spanish Civil War. It was set up as a result of the "Non-Intervention Agreement". This had been proposed in early August 1936 in a joint diplomatic initiative by the governments of Léon Blum in France and Neville Chamberlain in Great Britain. [Beevor, p 374] . It was part of a policy of appeasement, aimed at preventing a Proxy war - with Italy and Germany supporting Franco's Nationalist Coalition on one side and the Soviet Union supporting the Republican Popular Front on the other - escalating into a major pan-European conflict.
The Committee first met in London on 9 September 1936 and was attended by representatives of all European countries, excepting Switzerland (whose policy of neutrality prohibited even inter-Governmental action). [Beevor, p 378] .The second meeting took place on 14 September. It was attended by representatives of Belgium, Britain, Czechoslovakia, France, Germany, Italy, Russia and Sweden. [Beevor p385]
