(_g_) Any question as to the recovery of contract debts
claimed from the Government of an independent Sovereign State
by the Government of another independent Sovereign State, as
being due to any of its citizens, companies or subordinate
administrations, or to itself;
(_h_) Any question which may be submitted to the Court by
express agreement between all the parties to the case.
The question of whether or not an issue is justiciable within the meaning
of these Articles shall be determined solely by the International
High Court, which may determine such a question whether or not formal
objection is taken by any of the litigants.
If any State, being a party to any action in the International High
Court, objects that any point at issue is not a justiciable question as
herein defined, the objection shall be considered by the Court; and the
Court shall, whether or not the objecting State enters an appearance, or
argues the matter, pronounce upon the objection, and either set it aside
or declare it well founded.
It shall be within the competence of the International High Court, with
regard to any justiciable question in respect of which it may be invoked
by one or more of the parties, summarily to enjoin any State, whether or
not a party to the case, to refrain from taking any specified positive
action or to discontinue any specified positive action already begun,
or to cause to be discontinued any specified positive action begun by
any person, company or subordinate administration within or belonging to
such State, which in the judgment of the Court is designed or intended,
or may reasonably be expected to change the _status quo_ with regard to
the question at issue before the Court, or seriously to injure any of the
parties to the case. Any such injunction of the International High Court
shall be binding, and shall be enforceable, in the same way as a judgment
of the Court, in the manner hereinafter described.
_Immediate Publicity for All Treaties, Existing and Future_
15. No treaty or agreement between two or more independent Sovereign
States shall be deemed to confer any right to invoke the International
High Court, or shall be treated as valid, or be in any way recognized
by the International Council or the International High Court, or
shall be held to confer any rights, to impose any obligations, or to
change the status or legal rights of any person, company, subordinate
administration, district or State, unless a duly authenticated copy of
such Treaty or Agreement has been deposited by one or all of the States
that are parties to it, in the Registry of the International High Court,
within twelve months from the date of these Articles, in accordance
with any rules that may from time to time be made by the Court for this
purpose; or in the case of a Treaty or Agreement hereafter made, within
three months from the date of such Treaty or Agreement.
