[[1]] As amended.

[[2]] Article 36, first paragraph.

[[3]] For a collection of such agreements, see Publications of the Permanent Court of International Justice, Series D, No. 4.

[[4]] see the discussion as to this in that Report, infra, p. 171.

[[5]] Doubtless the word "conciliation" is not a term of art in this regard. But it seems to me that the functions of the Council under Article 15 of the Covenant go somewhat beyond "mediation" in the strict sense of the writers. See Nys, Droit International, Vol. II, p. 543; also Vattel (1853 edition), p. 276. The Protocol (Article 6) calls a result from these efforts "an amicable settlement." The French speaks of such efforts as "l'essai de conciliation."
