But it does place on the arbitrator a particular responsibility to dilute his affability with a strict impartiality of manner” (p. 220 n.14); “it has been suggested that the amiable compositeur should decide according to international arbitration law. We can only say in response to this that if such a law exists, it is nowhere to be found” (p. 611).
