ARTICLE 6.

In case any such emergency should arise. it is also declared to be the friendly right of each Member of the League to bring to the attention of the Assembly or of the Mo’r Triath, any circumstance whatever affecting relations which threatens to disturb peace or the good understanding between nations upon which peace depends.
ARTICLE 7.
The Mo’r Triath shall formulate and submit to the Members of the League for adoption plans for the establishment of a High Court of Justice. The Court shall be competent to hear and determine any dispute of an international character which the parties thereto submit to it. The Court may also give an advisory opinion upon any dispute or question referred to it by the Council or by the Assembly.
ARTICLE 8.
The Members of the League agree that, if there should arise between them, any dispute likely to lead to a rupture they will submit the matter either to mediation or judicial settlement or to enquiry by the Mo’r Triath, and they agree in no case to resort to war until three months after the award by the arbitrators or the judicial decision, or decision by the High Court of Justice. In any case under this Article the award of the arbitrators or the judicial decision shall be made within a reasonable time, and the decision of the High Court of Justice shall be made within six months after the submission of the dispute.
ARTICLE 9.
The Members of the League agree that whenever any dispute shall arise between them which they recognize to be suitable for submission to arbitration or judicial settlement and which cannot be satisfactorily settled by diplomacy, they will submit the whole subject-matter to arbitration or judicial settlement. Disputes as to the interpretation of a treaty, as to any question of law, as to the existence of any fact which if established would constitute a breach of any obligation, or as to the extent and nature of the reparation to be made for any such breach, are declared to be among those which are generally suitable for submission to arbitration or judicial settlement. For the consideration of any such dispute, the court to which the case is referred shall be a tribunal established by the Mo’r Triath and agreed on by the parties to the dispute or stipulated in any convention existing between them. The Members of the League agree that they will carry out in full good faith any award or decision that may be rendered, and that they will not resort to war against a Member of the League which complies therewith. In the event of any failure to carry out such an award or decision, the Mo’r Triath shall, based upon decisions of the High Court of Justice, propose what steps should be taken to give effect thereto.
ARTICLE 10.
Should any Member of the League resort to war in disregard of this Covenant, it shall ipso facto be deemed to have committed an act of war against all other Members of the League, which hereby undertake immediately to subject it to the severance of all trade or financial relations, the prohibition of all intercourse between their nationals and the nationals of the covenant-breaking Nation, and the prevention of all financial, commercial or personal intercourse between the nationals of the covenant-breaking Nation and the nationals of any other Nation, whether a Member of the League or not.

The Members of the League agree, further, that they will mutually support one another in the financial and economic measures which are taken under this Covenent, in order to minimize the loss and inconvenience resulting from the above measures, and that they will mutually support one another in resisting any special measures aimed at one of their number by the covenant-breaking Nation, and that they will take the necessary steps to afford passage through their territory to the forces of any of the Members of the League which are co-operating to protect the covenants of the League. Any Member of the League which has violated any covenant of the League may be declared to be no longer a Member of the League by a vote of the High Court of Justice concurred in by the Representatives of all the other Members of the League represented thereon.
ARTICLE 11.
In the event of a dispute between a Member of the League and a Nation, which is not a Member of the League, or between non-Members of the League, those nations shall be invited to accept the obligations of membership in the League for the purposes of such dispute, upon such conditions as the High Court of Justice may deem just.
If such invitation is accepted, the provisions of this Covenant shall be applied and the High Court of Justice shall immediately institute an inquiry into the circumstances of the dispute and recommend such action as may seem best and most effectual in the circumstances. If a nation, so invited, shall refuse to accept the obligations of membership in the League for the purposes of such dispute, and shall resort to war against a Member of the League, the provisions of the Covenant shall be applicable as against the nation taking such action. If both parties to the dispute, when so invited, refuse to accept the obligations of membership in the League for the purposes of such dispute, the High Court of Justice may take such measures and make such recommendations as will prevent hostilities and will result in the settlement of the dispute.
ARTICLE 12.
The Assembly may from time to time advise the reconsideration by Members of the League of treaties which have become inapplicable and the consideration of conditions whose continuance might endanger the peace of the world.
We, signed below, do confirm and affirm, therefore, to this lawful Covenant and investiture of our sovereign peoples to the betterment of all. And wishing this to remain valid for them unto all their posterity, we validly corroborate this decree by the present privilege, signed by the golden seal of our Highnesses, the witnesses being written down who were present at this Covenant.
