* The authority of this Tribunal to issue Awards on Agreed Terms is strictly limited to settlements submitted by the Parties with respect to disputes within its jurisdiction and properly pending before it. Hence, the reference in paragraph 14(b) of the present Award to the Obligation of the United States to pay a settlement amount — the greater part of which is evidently a consideration against the settlement- not of Cases before this Tribunal, but of a Case before the International Court of Justice--should only be read in the light of the above stated point; a fact to which paragraph 14(a) of the Award has itself alluded.
