[Sidenote: The Executive Council to act if arbitration fails.]
ART. XIII.--The high contracting parties agree that whenever
any dispute or difficulty shall arise between them, which they recognize
to be suitable for submission to arbitration and which cannot be
satisfactorily settled by diplomacy, they will submit the whole matter
to arbitration. For this purpose the court of arbitration to which the
case is referred shall be the court agreed on by the parties or
stipulated in any convention existing between them. The high contracting
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
matter which the parties recognize as suitable for submission to it for
arbitration under the foregoing article.
[Sidenote: Cases to be stated to the Executive Council.]
ART. XV.--If there should arise between States, members of the
League, any dispute likely to lead to rupture, which is not submitted to
arbitration as above, the high contracting parties agree that they will
refer the matter to the Executive Council; either party to the dispute
may give notice of the existence of the dispute to the Secretary General
who will make all necessary arrangements for a full investigation and
consideration thereof.
