Delegation of El Salvador. Delegation of Co- lombia. TREATIES With reference to the embargo on arms, each Nation may reserve freedom of action in the face of a war of aggression. Reservation of the Delegation of El Salvador: (3.) With reservation with respect to the idea of continental soli- darity when confronted by foreign aggression. Reservation of the Delegationof Colombia: (4.) In signing this Convention, the Delegation of Colombia under- stands that the phrase "in their character as neutrals," which appears in Articles V and VI, implies a new concept of international law which allows a distinction to be drawn between the aggressor and the at- tacked, and to treat them differently. At the same time, the Dele- gation of Colombia considers it necessary, in order to assure the full and effective application of this Pact, to set down in writing the following definition of the aggressor: That State shall be considered as an aggressor which becomes re- sponsible for one or several of the following acts: a) That its armed forces, to whatever branch they may belong, illegally cross the land, sea or air frontiers of other States. When the violation of the territory of a State has been effected by irresponsible bands organized within or outside of its territory and which have re- ceived direct or indirect help from another State, such violation shall be considered equivalent, for the purposes of the present Article, to that effected by the regular forces of the State responsible for the agression; b) That it has intervened in a unilateral or illegal way in the internal or external affairs of another State; c) That it has refused to fulfil a legally given arbitral decision or sentence of international justice. No consideration of any kind, whether political, military, economic or of any other kind, may serve as an excuse or justification for the aggression here anticipated.
