These eminent men and others
Ike them drew up a plan for a
c~drt that wnl be Always READY and
open for cases; that viii consist of
permanent judges to allow the de-
velopment OF strong judicial prece-
dent: that will have the right of OBJ
URatory adjudication in Q strictly
defined field Of law, and that will
base it's decisions not upon compro-
mise, but solely upon the law and
factS as would any, other court.
II was resolved that the court
should consist OF eleven permanent
judges with four alternate judges
serving for nine years. This court
would sit at The Hague permanent
ly and would form q complement to
the existing Court Of Arbitration,
which would retain its power to deal
with all cases OF arbitration. .
The main things that would come
before the court would be disputes
about the Interpretation OF q treaty;
disputes about any questions Of In
ternational law; arguments as to
the existence OF any facts which. il
established, would constitute a
breach OF international obligations;
and, finally, arguments Al to the ex-
tent of r~eparations to be made for
any such breach.

ton upon the plan, the Council of
the League of Nations has sent

members of the League of Nations.

bodies. and ratified by the nations

beers, the court will become a reali-
ty.

of Nations consists of representatives
