Book excerpt: Excerpt from Permanent Court of Arbitration at the Hague, United States Venezuela Arbitration Protocol, of February 13, 1909: The Counter Case of the United States of America on Behalf of the Orinoco Steamship Company Against the United States of Venezuela; With Appendix "Within an additional term of four months, either of the parties may in like manner present a counter case with documents and additional evidence and depositions, in answer to the case, documents, evidence and depositions of the other party." "Within sixty days from the expiration of the time designated for the filing of the counter cases, each Government may, through its Representative, make its arguments before the arbitral tribunal, either orally or in writing, and each shall deliver to the other copies of any arguments thus made in writing, and each party shall have a right to reply in writing, provided such reply be submitted within the sixty days last named." The last paragraph of Article X of the Protocol reads as follows: "The arbitral tribunal shall meet at The Hague twelve months from the date of this Protocol to begin its deliberations and to hear the arguments submitted to it. Within sixty days after the hearings are closed its decisions shall be rendered." It will be observed that these provisions require, first, the presentation on the part of each Government of a "case, with the documents and evidence on which it relies, together with the testimony of its respective witnesses." Secondly, they permit the presentation of a "counter case with documents and additional evidence and depositions, in answer to the case, documents, evidence and depositions of the other party," and, thirdly, they also entitle each Government to "make its arguments before the Arbitral Tribunal, either orally or in writing." The view of this Government as to the function of the case under the protocol was indicated in the introductory statement to the Case of the United States. As the United States understands these provisions, the function of the "case" is analogous to that of the declaration or complaint in municipal law, namely, to set forth the facts and circumstances upon which each Government bases its position. It is accompanied by and explanatory of the documents and evidence upon which it relies. The counter case, under this view, consists mainly of a simple statement of the facts relied on to answer the case and evidence of the other party, and is accompanied, in turn, by the documents upon which it is based.
