3 Ibid. 159. After stating that the creation of the new Permanent Court of International Justice responded to earlier voeux of the Institut and to universal aspirations, the Institut expresses the voeu: “ That States submit their disputes more and more frequently to the judgment of that high Court (juridiction) ; “That those States which have not signed the Protocol … [of Signature of the Statute of the Permanent Court of International Justice] examine the possibility of accepting within the widest limits [dans la mesure la plus large] the compulsory jurisdiction of the new Court, it being understood that the parties would always remain free to refer their disputes by common agreement to the Permanent Court of Arbitration or to arbiters of their own choice.” (Translation.)

7 Ibid. 4. This voeu, which has been widely quoted, provides: ‘’ The Institute of International Law expresses the hope that States which include in their declarations accepting the compulsory jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice a reservation in respect of matters of domestic jurisdiction will leave it to the Court to decide in each particular case whether the reservation is applicable.” (Translation from 45 Annuaire 300 ( II , 1954.)
