1361 THE HAGUE TRIBUNAL. OFFICIALLY THE PERMANENT COURT OF ARBITRATION. The Permanent Court of Arbitration was established under the Act of July 29, 1899, signed (and subsequently ratified) on the part of 24 Powers. Under Protocol of June 14, 1907, for the accession of non•signatory Powers, the number of Powers represented in the Court has been largely in· creased. The purpose is to facilitate arbitration for international disputes which it has been impossible to settle by diplom~y. The Court is competont for all arbitration cases unless the parties agree to constitute a special tribunal, and its jurisdiction may be extended to disputes to which one or both of the parties are non-signatory Powers, if the parties so agree. When the signatory Powers desire to have recourse to the Permanent Court for the settlement of a dispute, the arbitrators called upon to form the competent tribunal for the purpose must be chosen from the general list of members of the Court. If the parties disagree on the composition of this tribunal, its members must be appointed in accordance with the course prescribed in the Act. The Court has an International Bureau under the direction and control of a Permanent Administrative Council composed of the diplomatic representatives of the Signatory Powers accredited to the Hague, and of the Netherlands Minister for Foreign Affairs, who acts as President. '!'he Permanent Court consists of persons of known competency in questions of International Law, of whom four at the most are selected by each of the Signatory Powers ; each appointment is for six years and may be renewed.
