The Geneva Protocol, by David Hunter Miller

CHAPTER VI. 22
[1] As amended.
[2] Article 36, first paragraph.
[3] For a collection of such agreements, see Publications of the Permanent Court of International Justice,
Series D, No. 4.
[4] see the discussion as to this in that Report, infra, p. 171.
[5] Doubtless the word "conciliation" is not a term of art in this regard. But it seems to me that the functions
of the Council under Article 15 of the Covenant go somewhat beyond "mediation" in the strict sense of the
writers. See Nys, Droit International, Vol. II, p. 543; also Vattel (1853 edition), p. 276. The Protocol (Article
6) calls a result from these efforts "an amicable settlement." The French speaks of such efforts as "l'essai de
conciliation."
[6] The period of "six months" is mentioned in Article 12 of the Covenant.
[7] Article 15, Paragraph 4, et seq.
[8] Protocol, Article 4 (2) c.
[9] by a Committee of Arbitrators.
[10] By a Committee of Arbitrators.
[11] The powers and duties of the Assembly in such case are stated in the last two paragraphs of Article IS of
the Covenant. They are continued, to the extent stated, by Article 6 of the Protocol.
[12] The question as to what may happen under the Protocol if such a decision or award is not carried out is
discussed infra, p. 50, et seq.
