Extract

The inauguration of the mixed court of tangier on june 1, 1925, marked the beginning of a new experiment in international cooperation for the administration of justice. While it is perhaps too early for any definite conclusions to be drawn as to the success and significance of this experiment, enough time may have elapsed for some useful study to be made of it and possibly for some forecast of its future.

7 If the Shereefian Government which had ratified the Act of Algecirasmay not be taken to have been represented in drawing up the convention of December 18, 1923—the Treaty of Fe of March 30,1912, gave France control of the foreign affairs of the Shereefian Empire— then the promulgation of the various dahirs for putting the new convention into effect, may be said to have constituted a kind of factual acquiescence in the new convention.
