A Judge of the International High Court shall not be liable to any legal
proceedings in any tribunal in any State, and shall not be subjected to
any disciplinary action by any Government, in respect of anything said
or done by him in his capacity as Judge; and shall not during his term
of office be deprived of any part of the emoluments or privileges of
his office. A Judge of the International High Court may be removed from
office by a resolution of the International Council sitting as a whole,
carried by a three-fourths majority.
_The Court Open Only to State Governments_
13. The International High Court shall deal only with justiciable
questions, as defined in these Articles, at issue between the national
Governments of independent Sovereign Sates, and shall not entertain
any application from or on behalf of an individual person, or any
group or organization of persons, or any company, or any subordinate
administration, or any State not independent and Sovereign. The
International High Court may, if it thinks fit, deal with a suit brought
by a Constituent State against an independent Sovereign State which is
not a Constituent State; or with a suit between two or more such States.
_Justiciable Issues_
14. The justiciable questions with which the International High Court
shall be competent to deal shall be exclusively those falling within one
or other of the following classes, viz.:
(_a_) Any question of fact which, if established, would be a
cause of action within the competence of the Court;
(_b_) Any question as to the interpretation or application
of any international treaty or agreement duly registered as
provided in these Articles, or of International Law, or of
any enactment of the International Council; together with any
alleged breach or contravention thereof;
(_c_) Any question as to the responsibility or blame attaching
to any independent Sovereign State for any of the acts,
negligences or defaults of its national or local Government
officers, agents or representatives, occasioning loss or
damage to a State other than their own, whether to any of the
citizens, companies or subordinate administrations of such
State, or to its national Government; and as to the reparation
to be made, and the compensation to be paid, for such loss or
damage;
(_d_) Any question as to the title, by agreement, prescription,
or occupation, to the sovereignty of any place or district;
(_e_) Any question as to the demarcation of any part of any
national boundary;
(_f_) Any question as to the reparation to be made, or the
amount of compensation to be paid, in cases in which the
principle of indemnity has been recognized or admitted by all
the parties;
