case [Global Index]
... In case of serious disagreement or conflict, before an appeal to arms the Signatory Powers agree to have recourse, as far as circumstances allow, to the good offices or mediation of one or more friendly Powers. ...
... In case of a serious difference endangering the peace, the States at variance choose respectively a Power, to whom they entrust the mission of entering into direct communication with the Power chosen on the other side, with the object of preventing the rupture of pacific relations. ...
... In case of a definite rupture of pacific relations, these Powers are charged with the joint task of taking advantage of any opportunity to restore peace. ...
... Independently of general or private Treaties expressly stipulating recourse to arbitration as obligatory on the Signatory Powers, these Powers reserve to themselves the right of concluding, either before the ratification of the present Act or later, new Agreements, general or private, with a view to extending obligatory arbitration to all cases which they may consider it possible to submit to it. ...
... The Permanent Court shall be competent for all arbitration cases, unless the parties agree to institute a special Tribunal. ...
... In case of the death or retirement of a Member of the Court, his place shall be filled in accordance with the method of this appointment. ...
... Except in cases of necessity, the place of session can only be altered by the Tribunal with the assent of the parties. ...
... In case of equal voting, the choice of the Umpire is entrusted to a third Power, selected by the parties by common accord. ...
... In case of the death, retirement, or disability from any cause of one of the Arbitrators, his place shall be filled in accordance with the method of his appointment. ...
... The place thus fixed cannot, except in case of necessity, be changed by the Tribunal without the assent of the parties. ...
... Preliminary examination consists in the communication by the respective agents to the members of the Tribunal and to the opposite party of all printed or written Acts and of all documents containing the arguments invoked in the case. This communication shall be made in the form and within the periods fixed by the Tribunal in accordance with Article 49. ...
... In this case, the Tribunal has the right to require the production of these Acts or documents, but is obliged to make them known to the opposite party. ...
... The Tribunal can, besides, require from the agents of the parties the production of all Acts, and can demand all necessary explanations. In case of refusal, the Tribunal takes note of it. ...
... The agents and counsel of the parties are authorized to present orally to the Tribunal all the arguments they may think expedient in defence of their case. ...
... The Tribunal is authorized to declare its competence in interpreting the 'Compromis' as well as the other Treaties which may be invoked in the case, and in applying the principles of international law. ...
... The Tribunal has the right to issue Rules of Procedure for the conduct of the case, to decide the forms and periods within which each party must conclude its arguments, and to arrange all the formalities required for dealing with the evidence. ...
... When the agents and counsel of the parties have submitted all explanations and evidence in support of their case, the President pronounces the discussion closed. ...
... In this case, and unless there be an agreement to the contrary, the demand must be addressed to the Tribunal which pronounced the Award. It can only be made on the ground of the discovery of some new fact calculated to exercise a decisive influence on the Award, and which, at the time the discussion was closed, was unknown to the Tribunal and to the party demanding the revision. ...
... When there is a question of interpreting a Convention to which Powers other than those concerned in the dispute are parties, the latter notify to the former the 'Compromis' they have concluded. Each of these Powers has the right to intervene in the case. If one or more of them avail themselves of this right, the interpretation contained in the Award is equally binding on them. ...
