parties agree that they will carry out in full good faith any award that
may be rendered. In the event of any failure to carry out the award the
Executive Council shall propose what steps can best be taken to give
effect thereto.

[Sidenote: A permanent court of international justice.]

ART. XIV.--The Executive Council shall formulate plans for the
establishment of a permanent court of international justice, and this
court shall, when established, be competent to hear and determine any

may give notice of the existence of the dispute to the Secretary General
who will make all necessary arrangements for a full investigation and

the terms of settlement, together with such explanations as may be
appropriate. If the dispute has not been settled, a report by the
council shall be published, setting forth with all necessary facts and

party which complies with the recommendations, and that if any party
shall refuse so to comply the council shall propose measures necessary

be made it shall be the duty of the majority and the privilege of the
minority to issue statements, indicating what they believe to be the
