“1. A State shall give effect to State immunity [under article 6] by refraining from exercising jurisdiction in a proceeding before its courts against another State.

2. A proceeding before a court of a State shall be considered to have been instituted against another State, whether or not that other State is named as a party to that proceeding, so long as the proceeding in effect seeks to compel that other State either to submit to the jurisdiction of the court or to bear the consequences of a determination by the court which may affect the rights, interests, properties or activities of that other State.

3. In particular, a proceeding before a court of a State shall be considered to have been instituted against another State when the proceeding is instituted against one of the organs of that State, or against one of its agencies or instrumentalities in respect of an act performed in the exercise of governmental authority, or against one of the representatives of that State in respect of an act performed in his capacity as a representative, or when the proceeding is designed to deprive that other State of its property or of the use of property in its possession or control.”

“Obligations and rights arise for States members of an international organization from the provisions of a treaty to which that organization is a party when the parties to the treaty intend those provisions to be the means of establishing such obligations and according such rights and have defined their conditions and effects in the treaty or have otherwise agreed thereon, and if:

(a) the States members of the organization, by virtue of the constituent instrument of that organization or otherwise, have unanimously agreed to be bound by the said provisions of the treaty; and

(b) the assent of the States members of the organization to be bound by the relevant provisions of the treaty has been duly brought to the knowledge of the negotiating States and negotiating organizations.”

2. In the case of paragraph 1, a violation is manifest if it would be objectively evident to any State or any international organization referring in good faith to normal practice of States in the matter.

3. An international organization may not invoke the fact that its consent to be bound by a treaty has been expressed in violation of the rules of the organization regarding competence to conclude treaties as invalidating its consent unless that violation was manifest and concerned a rule of fundamental importance.

4. In the case of paragraph 3, a violation is manifest if it is or ought to be within the knowledge of any contracting State or any contracting organization.”

134. Article 73 reads:

“1.

2. The provisions of the present articles shall not prejudge any question that may arise in regard to a treaty from the international responsibility of an international organization, from the termination of the existence of the organization or from the termination of participation by a State in the membership of the organization.”

135. Statement of 9 November 1982, Zevenendertigste Zitting, pp. 517–521; summary in UN Doc. A/C.6/37/SR.40.

136. Articles 3–7 concern the applicability of Dutch criminal law.

137. Reference is made here to the following judicial decisions: Supreme Court, 1 November 1897, W 7040 (for complicity), Supreme Court, 15 June 1917, NJ 821, and Supreme Court, 26 June 1933, NJ 1933, 1582 (for procurement) and Court of Appeal of Den Bosch, 20 September 1942, NJ 1943, 895 (for causing to commit). The fact that this also applies to attempted offences may be deduced from the conclusion of the Advocate-General to the Supreme Court of 9 March 1976, 356.

There are no grounds for inferring from the Supreme Court judgment of 6 April 1954, NJ 1954, 368, that these observations would not apply to acts of participation in the form of complicity [medeplegen]. In this judgment, the Court established that in a case of fraud not only the place (abroad) from which the fraudulent devices were dispatched, but also the place where they arrived and where the victim was induced to hand over money must be regarded as the place of the crime. This conclusion follows from the definition in Art. 326 of the Criminal Code, according to which the offence of fraus is completed only when a person has been induced to hand over property and the like. It cannot, however, be deduced from the judgment that complicity in an offence committed (partly) in the Netherlands could never take place wholly on foreign territory.

When a dispute regarding the interpretation or application of this Convention includes a State which has made a declaration under paragraph 3, if the dispute is not settled by negotiation or by other agreed means, any one of the parties to the dispute may, by a request addressed to the other party, submit it to arbitration in conformity with the Annex to this Convention.

5. Any State which has made a declaration in accordance with paragraph 3 may at any time withdraw that declaration by notification to the depositary.”

174. The Annex reads in full (UN Doc. A/CONF.117/C.1/L.57):

“1. Arbitration procedure, unless the parties to the dispute decide otherwise, shall be in accordance with the rules set out in this Annex.

2. The arbitration tribunal shall consist of three members: one arbitrator nominated by each of the parties to the dispute, and a third arbitrator who shall be nominated by agreement between the two first-named, and shall act as its chairman.

3. If, at the end of a period of 60 days from the nomination of the second arbitrator, the chairman of the tribunal has not been nominated, the Secretary-General of the United Nations upon request of either party to the dispute shall proceed to such nomination.

4. If, at the end of a period of 60 days from the date of the receipt of the request for arbitration, one of the parties to the dispute has not nominated the member of the tribunal for whose designation it is responsible, the other party may directly inform the Secretary-General of the United Nations who shall nominate the chairman of the tribunal.

5. The chairman of the tribunal shall, upon nomination in accordance with paragraph 4, request the party which has not provided an arbitrator, to do so within a period of 60 days. If the party does not make the required nomination, the chairman of the tribunal shall so inform the Secretary-General of the United Nations who shall make the nomination.

6. The chairman of the tribunal, if nominated under the provisions of paragraph 3 or 4, shall not be or have been a national or one of the parties to the dispute, except with the consent of the other party.

7. In the case of the decease or default of an arbitrator for whose nomination one of the parties is responsible, the said party shall nominate a replacement within a period of 60 days from the date of decease or default. Should the said party not make the nomination, the arbitration shall continue under the remaining arbitrators. In the case of decease or default of the chairman of the tribunal, a replacement shall be nominated in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 2 above or, in the absence of agreement between the members of the tribunal within a period of 60 days of the decease or default, according to the provisions of paragraph 3. The arbitration is continued as soon as the new chairman has been nominated.

8. If a procedure has been initiated between two parties to a dispute, any other Contracting State the interests of which are affected may join in the arbitration procedure by giving written notice to the parties which have originally initiated the procedure unless either of the latter parties object to such joinder.

9. An arbitration tribunal established under the provisions of the present Annex shall decide its own rules of procedure.

10. Decisions of the tribunal both as to its procedure and its place of meeting as to any controversy laid before it, shall be taken by majority vote of its members; the absence or abstention of one of the members for whose nomination the parties to the dispute were responsible shall not constitute an impediment to the tribunal reaching a decision. In cases of equal voting, the chairman shall cast the deciding vote.

11. Absence or default of one party to the dispute shall not constitute an impediment to the procedure.

12. The award of the tribunal shall be final and binding on the parties to the dispute.

13. Any controversy which may arise between the parties to the dispute as regards interpretation and execution of the award may be submitted by either party for judgement to the tribunal which made the award, or, if it is not available, to another tribunal constituted for this purpose in the same manner as the original tribunal.”
