The Netherlands questioned “whether in this way arbitration will not be divested of one of its specific characteristics and whether this may not entail the impossibility for arbitration to maintain itself beside international judicature. In other words: may not arbitration lose its attractiveness for States?” Id. at p. 35.

* The Draft was discussed extensively in the Sixth Committee of the General Assembly during its Eighth Session in the Fall of 1953. The General Assembly adopted a resolution to transmit to Member States the Draft, “together with the observations made thereon in the Sixth Committee,” with a view to the submission by governments “of whatever comments they may deem appropriate, if possible, before 1 January 1955,” and to ask the Secretary General to include the question in the provisional agenda of the Tenth Session.
