ARTICLE 44
Each Contracting Power selects four persons at the most, of known competency in questions of international law, of the highest moral reputation, and disposed to accept the duties of Arbitrator.
The persons thus elected are inscribed, as Members of the Court, in a list which shall be notified to all the Contracting Powers by the Bureau.
Any alteration in the list of Arbitrators is brought by the Bureau to the knowledge of the Contracting Powers.
Two or more Powers may agree on the selection in common of one or more Members.
The same person can be selected by different Powers. The Members of the Court are appointed for a term of six years. These appointments are renewable.
Should a Member of the Court die or resign, the same procedure is followed for filling the vacancy as was followed for appointing him. In this case the appointment is made for a fresh period of six years.
