Criticism
The Code, and the initial Charter which created it, have been subject to severe criticisms from both progressive groups and some authorities within the developing world. The Charter, which purports to create an association of free and equal members, has often been criticized as being "unwilling or unable" to authorize the League to prevent imperialism and instead aims at preventing another Great War at the expense of national sovereignty. The same groups additionally criticize its language as insufficient to project human rights. Some have criticized the "legalistic and bureaucratic" construction of the Code as well, arguing it should be "easily accessible for all peoples".
