Convention (XII) relative to the
Creation of an International Prize Court adopted and opened for
signatures. The 1907 Hague Convention for an International Prize Court never came into force. Nevertheless, it was the first international agreement intended to create a permanent international tribunal of the kind. Convention XII of the Conference reflected the proposals submitted by the British and German delegations at the 1907 Hague Peace Conference. This Convention was meant to remain in force for twelve years, then to be renewed for six years at a time, unless denounced. |
