1. No more diplomatic secrets or secret treaties.

2. Freedom of navigation in all seas.

3. Abandonment of the use of force to resolve international disputes.

4. Arms reduction for all countries.

5. Self-determination for oppressed peoples.

6. Restoration of Russia's territorial integrity.

7. Evacuation of all territories occupied by foreign military forces.

8. Evacuation and restoration of Belgrade.

9. Self-determination for the peoples of the Austro-Hungarians.

10. Self-determination for the peoples of the Ottoman Empire.

current United Nations Organization.
