A treaty signed by the United States, Great Britain, Japan, and France at the Washington Conference on December 13, 1921. It stipulated that if a dispute arose between two of the signatories over issues related to interests in the Pacific region, all of the signatories would consult with each other. It also stated that the signatories would respect each other's rights. This created a framework for consultation between the three great powers, the United States, Great Britain, and Japan, whose interests were likely to clash in the Pacific region. Although the wording was vague and the treaty was not binding, the important significance of this treaty was that it abolished the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, which had maintained the balance of power in East Asia since 1902. An additional agreement also defined Japan's "insular dependencies and possessions."

1921年12月13日,ワシントン会議において,アメリカ合衆国,イギリス,日本,フランスが調印した条約。太平洋地域の権益をめぐる問題に関して,調印国のうち 2ヵ国の間で紛争が生じた場合は,すべての調印国が協議にあずかると規定された。また,調印国が互いの権利を尊重することも記された。これによって,太平洋地域でそれぞれの利益が衝突する可能性が高いアメリカ,イギリス,日本の 3大国の間に協議の枠組みがつくられた。文言が曖昧だったため拘束力は乏しかったが,この条約の重要な意味は,1902年から東アジアにおける力の均衡を維持してきた日英同盟が破棄されたことであった。また追加協定では,日本の「島嶼たる属地及び領地」が定義された。
