Adopted on March 5, 1931, ahead of the Second Round Table Conference in London, the Gandhi-Irwin Pact was a political accord between Mahatma Gandhi and Lord Irwin, the Viceroy of India.

In their peace treaty, Gandhi and Irwin each stipulated terms that the other would not contradict.

Irwin promised to free individuals who had been detained throughout the movement and to permit Native Americans to produce salt for domestic consumption in accordance with this agreement.

Gandhi promised to attend the second Round Table Conference in London and to renounce his campaign of civil disobedience.
