The International Court of Justice had a busy year in 1951. It handed down judgments in the Haya de la Torre Case and the Anglo-Norwegian Fisheries Case, and an advisory opinion relating to Reservations to the Genocide Convention. An order indicating interim measures of protection was issued in the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company Case, and orders were given in the case concerning Rights of American Nationals in Morocco and in the Ambatielos Case; these three cases, as well as two newly-instituted cases—the Minquiers and Ecrehos Case and the Nottebohm Case, were pending at the end of the year.

9 The original text of the concession was in French; an English translation was published in League of Nations Official Journal, 1932, p. 3205.

12 The writer has been supplied with a “text” of the concession in French, and a reference to “the official French text” was made in Toynbee's Survey of International Affairs, 1934, p. 242 n. As published in the League of Nations Official Journal, however, the French was labeled “translation.” The United Kingdom application of May 26, 1951 (I.C.J. 1951, General List, No. 16), stated that “a copy” of the agreement, as well as an “English translation prepared for the use of the Company,” was annexed; and in the printed annex the English text was labeled a translation.

35 The original text is:
“ETANT ENTENDU que la réserve (e) est destinée en prineipe à s’appliquer aux cas où 1’absence de relations est antérieure au différend qui s’est élevé et existe indépendamment de ce différend. Elle ne sera pas normalement invoquée dans les cas où les relations ont été rompues après ou bien en conséquence du litige. Néanmoins, toute divergence d’opinions qui pourrait s’élever dans un cas donné tombera sous la décision de la Cour selon l’Article 36 para. 6, de son Statut. Tenant compte de cette prévision du Statut, le Gouvernement d’Israël ne peut engager ni soi-même ni ses successeurs à se conformer strictement à cette interprétation au cas où une contestation s’élèverait quant à la competénce de la Cour selon cette Déclaration, et au cas où une contestation pareille s’élèverait, une pleine liberté d’action est réservée quant à la manière dont la juridiction de la Cour serait invoquée.”
