ARTICLE 28 -- SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTES:
The only outstanding
problem in this article is the reference mechanism to be utilized
in the settlement of disputes. The Committee initially hoped to
develop an annex stipulating the arbitration procedure to be used
for the Convention. However, delegates abandoned the idea during
this session due to the apparent inability to develop an annex by
June. Nevertheless, the Committee still needs to decide whether
this task should be left to the COP or whether to refer to the
Permanent Court of Arbitration in the text.
