2 Article 44 of the convention of The Hague of 1907 for the pacific settlement of international disputes reads as follows:

“Each signatory power shall select four persons at the most, of known competency in questions of international law, of the highest moral reputation, and disposed to accept the duties of arbitrators.

“The persons thus selected are inscribed, as members of the court, in a list which shall be notified by the Bureau to all the contracting powers.“Any alteration in the list of arbitrators is brought by the Bureau to the knowledge of the contracting powers.

“Two or more Powers may agree on the selection in common of one or more members.

“The same person can be selected by different powers.

“The members of the court are appointed for a term of six years. Their appointments can be renewed.

“In case of the death or retirement of a member of the court, his place shall be filled in accordance with the method of his appointment, for a new term of six years.”(Supplement to this Journal, Vol. 2, p. 60.)
