He played an instrumental role in the creation of the International Labour Organization (ILO) in 1919, as well as for his influence in promoting inclusion of a declaration of human rights in the UN Charter. He obtained his doctorate from Columbia University in 1903. Shotwell attended the Paris Peace Conference as a member of "The Inquiry" (a study group established by Woodrow Wilson to prepare materials for the peace negotiations), historian of the American delegation, and author of the provisions establishing the International Labour Organization (ILO). He met with the French Minister of Foreign Affairs Aristide Briand in Paris and suggested that a bilateral treaty be negotiated that would outlaw war between the U.S. and France. Their work led to the Kellogg-Briand Pact being signed on August 27, 1928. In 1935, he became president of the League of Nations Association. In May 1944, he joined a group that published a "Design for the Charter of the General International Organization" to succeed the League of Nations. The United States, Britain, the Soviet Union, and China all issued proposals after the Dumbarton Oaks Conference in October 1944 that closely paralleled those of the "Shotwell Commission". He attended the first UN meeting in San Francisco in April 1945. He helped draft the Charter of the United Nations as a consultant to the U.S. State Department. More
