_Undertaking to Submit All Justiciable Questions to the International
High Court_
16. The Constituent States severally undertake and agree to submit to
the International High Court for trial and judgment every question,
difference or dispute coming within the definition of a justiciable
question as laid down by these Articles that may arise between themselves
and any other independent Sovereign State or States; and at all times to
abstain, in respect of such questions, from anything in the nature of an
ultimatum; from any threat to take unfriendly or aggressive action of any
kind with a view to redressing the alleged grievance or punishing the
alleged wrongdoing; and from any violation of the territory of any other
State or attack on the ships of such State or other military or naval
operations, or other action leading or likely to lead to war.
_Enforcement of the Decrees of the Court_
17. When in any case upon which judgment is given by the International
High Court, the Court finds that any of the parties to the case has,
by act, negligence, or default, committed any breach of international
obligation, whether arising by Treaty or Agreement, or by International
Law, or by enactment of the International Council in accordance with
these Articles, the Court may simply declare that one or other litigant
State is in default, and leave such State voluntarily to make reparation;
or the Court may, in the alternative, itself direct reparation to be
made or compensation to be paid for such wrong, and may assess damages
or compensation, and may, either by way of addition to damages or
compensation, or as an alternative, impose a pecuniary fine upon the
State declared in default, hereinafter called the recalcitrant State;
and may require compliance with its decree within a specified time under
penalty of a pecuniary fine, and may prescribe the application of any
such damages, compensation, or fine.
In the event of non-compliance with any decision or decree or injunction
of the International High Court, or of non-payment of the damages,
compensation, or fine within the time specified for such payment, the
Court may decree execution, and may call upon the Constituent States,
or upon some or any of them, to put in operation, after duly published
notice, for such period and under such conditions as may be arranged, any
or all of the following sanctions—viz.:
(_a_) To lay an embargo on any or all ships within the
jurisdiction of such Constituent State or States registered as
belonging to the recalcitrant State;
