Summary
From October 1936, Mexico waged a growing legal campaign at the League of Nations (‘the League’) in favour of the Spanish Republic in the context of the Spanish civil war. The Mexican delegate at the League, Narciso Bassols, repeatedly denounced the intervention of Italy and Germany in the armed conflict, challenging the view that the war in Spain should be described solely as an internal issue.
