Text of Hay-Pauncefote treaty
This copy of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty between the United States and Great Britain describes the agreement regarding the construction of an isthmian canal in five articles. The first denotes that this treaty supersedes the Clayton-Bulwer agreement of 1850. The second allows the United States to build a canal connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, using various financial arrangements and having sole governance of it. The third establishes that the Free Navigation of the Suez Maritime Canal rules, adopted in 1888 in Constantinople, will serve as the basis for neutrality. The principles therein seek to keep the canal neutral and available to all nations for commercial use, and include the neutrality of the surrounding water and infrastructure used to maintain the Canal. Article four states that this agreement remains valid regardless of the politics of the nations surrounding the canal zone. Finally, article five designates the official signers as the President of the United States, with the advice and consent of the Senate, and the King of Great Britain.
