[Reproduced from 397 UNTS 276 (1961). A similar agreement was made between Iceland and the Federal Republic of Germany on July 19, 1961. This agreement appears at 409 UNTS 47 (1961).

[The Icelandic Althing Resolution on Fisheries Jurisdiction, unanimously approved on February 15, 1972, appears at I.L.M. page 643. On April 14, 1972, the Government of the United Kingdom filed in the Registry of the International Court of Justice an application instituting proceedings against Iceland. In its application, the British Government contends that in international law: (1) the decision of the Icelandic Government is without foundation and invalid and that Iceland is not entitled unilaterally to exclude the fishing vessels of other countries from the further area over which it claims to ex-tend its jurisdiction, and (2) questions concerning the conservation of fish stocks in the waters around Iceland are not susceptible to regulation by the unilateral extension of exclusive fisheries jurisdiction but may be regulated, as between Iceland and the United Kingdom, by arrangements agreed between those two countries.]
