Decision of the arbitral tribunal established to settle the dispute concerning the course of the boundary between Austria and Hungary near the lake called the “Meerauge”, decision of 13 September 1902

Arbitration – procedure – competence of arbitrators limited to disputed territory by arbitral agreement – In absence of restrictive provision on how frontier should be determined, it is left to arbitral tribunal’s discretion and conscientious judgment – inadmissibility of a reservation made by a Party as inconsistent with the content and the purpose of the arbitral agreement, since it involved reserving the right to claim a further modification of the border, which would undermine the position of the arbitral tribunal and the validity and finality of its decision.
