A brief summary of the Fourteen Points enshrined in the Treaty:-
 
There would be no secret treaties between two warring nations. Diplomacy between them would be a matter of public record
The free navigations of the seas would be inclusive to all the nations.
There would be no economic barriers between countries. Free trade would be the norm
All nations should abstain from an arms race with a view to enhance public safety.
Claims regarding colonies should be fair and impartial.
Restoration of territories lost by Russia
Belgium should be granted freed as was the case before 1914
The region of Alsace-Lorraine should be returned to France 
Italy’s frontiers should be drawn keeping nationalities recognizable 
The various ethnic groups of the Austro-Hungarian Empire must be given a right to self-determination
The Balkan states should also be guaranteed self-determination and independence.
Turks and those under Turkish rule should be granted self-determination.
An independent Poland should be created.
