\Hague Tribunal\
The permanent court of arbitration created by the
``International Convention for the Pacific Settle of
International Disputes.'', adopted by the International Peace
Conference of 1899. It is composed of persons of known
competency in questions of international law, nominated by
the signatory powers. From these persons an arbitration
tribunal is chosen by the parties to a difference submitted
to the court. On the failure of the parties to agree directly
on the arbitrators, each chooses two arbitrators, an umpire
is selected by them, by a third power, or by two powers
selected by the parties.
