On December 17, 1948, a Committee of Naval Experts was appointed by the International Court of Justice to report on eight technical points involved in the Corfu Channel case. Under the order of the Court the Committee, whose members were Commodore J. Bull of the Royal Norwegian Navy, Commodore S. A. Forshell of the Royal Swedish Navy and Lt. Commander S. J. W. Elfferich of the Royal Netherlands Navy, was to submit a report on the situation in the north Corfu strait at the time the incident took place, the type of mines involved, the possibility of laying mines without the knowledge of Albania, and the technical possibilities involved in testimony of a witness for the United Kingdom, former Lt. Commander Kovacic of the Yugoslav navy.
