In this message, issued to the country at a time when our young and struggling Republic was torn by internal strife and threatened by external dangers, President Washington saw clearly the need for our country to gain time “to settle and mature its recent institutions and to progress without interruption to that degree of strength and consistency which is necessary to give it . . . the command of its own fortunes.” Pointing to the dangers that lay ahead, he boldly charted a course for our country, based on principles of “national union”, “independence and liberty”, exemption from the “broils and wars” of other countries, “religion and morality”, “pride of patriotism”, “institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge”, and the observance of “good faith and justice toward all nations”. Guided largely by these principles and favored by nature and the indomitable spirit of freedom and the will of a sturdy and pioneering people, our young Republic has grown to maturity, has gained that “command of its own fortunes” which has freed it from the state of relative dependency in which President Washington found it, and has taken its place in the councils of nations with new responsibilities which a century and a half ago could not have been foreseen. It is appropriate for us at this time to draw fresh inspiration and renewed faith from the advice and admonitions of the Father of our Country and to apply his wisdom to our times and to the new environment in which we live. Above all, we should keep fresh in our memory his call to nationalCall to national unity and responsible citizenship. unity and responsible citizenship, based on principles of morality, and good faith and justice to all nations; for these remain the imperishable foundations of our Republic. NOW, THEREFORE, I, HARRY S. TRUMAN, President of theDisplay of flag on Sept. 19, 1946, and observance of sesquicentennial.

HARRY S TRUMAN 61 Stat. 1219 The Acting United States Representative to the United Nations to the Secretary General of the United Nations united states delegation to the united nations 250 West 57th Street New York 19, N. Y. ——— Circle 6–4400 August 26, 1946 Excellency: I have the honor to transmit herewith, under cover of a note dated August 16, 1946, from the Acting Secretary of State of the United States, a Declaration by the President of the United States of America recognizing, on behalf of the United States of America, the compulsory jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice under Article 36 of the Statute of the Court.[59 Stat. 1060](/us/stat/59/1060). My action today in depositing this Declaration, accepting on behalf of the United States the compulsory jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice, is further testimony to the determination of my Government to do all in its power to assure that the United Nations will fulfill the role assigned to it, which is nothing less than the preservation of world peace. One of the most elemental functions of the United Nations in the preservation of world peace is the development of procedures of pacific settlement. In these procedures, the role and functions of law is clear. We feel that international law is already sufficiently developed to serve as a guide and basis in international relations. We feel further that the best way of assuring its further development, and the only way of enabling it to fulfill its function, is by referring to a responsible international tribunal all disputes properly justiciable by such a tribunal. We accordingly look forward to a great development of the rule of law in international relations through a broad acceptance of the function of the Court in the spirit of the Charter. Accept, Excellency, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration. Enclosure: As stated. Herschel V.

La base de calcul pour le règlement prévu au présent article sera le dollar des Etats-Unis à sa parité or au 1er juillet 1946, c’est-à-dire 35 dollars pour une once d’or. B. Réparations au profit de l’Albanie, de l’Ethiopie, de la Grèce et de la Yougoslavie 1.

Les prestations accomplies au titre du présent paragraphe pourront également comprendre des semences. 3. Les quantités et les catégories de marchandises et services à livrer feront l’objet d’accords entre les gouvernements ayant droit à des réparations et le Gouvernement italien; le choix en sera effectué et les livraisons en seront échelonnées de façon à ne pas entraver la reconstruction économique de l’Italie et à ne pas imposer aux autres Puissances Alliées ou Associées des charges supplémentaires. 4. Les Etats ayant droit à des réparations au titre de la production courante fourniront à l’Italie, à des conditions commerciales, les matières premières ou les produits que l’Italie importe normalement et qui seront nécessaires à la production de ces marchandises.

Aux fins du présent article, les Quatre Ambassadeurs continueront leurs fonctions jusqu’à l’expiration de la période prévue au paragraphe 1 de la partie B pour les livraisons au titre des réparations.61 Stat. 1281 *(b)* En vue d’éviter les conflits ou les doubles attributions dans la répartition de la production et des ressources italiennes entre les divers Etats ayant droit aux réparations en vertu de la partie B du présent article, les Quatre Ambassadeurs seront informés par tout Gouvemement ayant droit aux réparations en vertu de la partie B du présent article et par le Gouvernement italien de l’ouverture de négociations en vue de conclure un accord, conformément aux dispositions du paragraphe 3 ci-dessus, ainsi que du progrès de ces négociations. Au cas où un différend s’élèverait au cours des négociations, les Quatre Ambassadeurs auront compétence pour décider de toute question qui leur serait soumise par l’un ou l’autre desdits Gouvemements, ou par tout autre Gouvemement ayant droit aux réparations en vertu de la partie B du présent article. *(c)* Une fois conclus, les accords seront communiqués aux Quatre Ambassadeurs.

Section II—Restitutions par l’Italie Article 75 1. L’Italie accepte les principes de la Déclaration des Nations Unies du 5 janvier 1943 et restituera dans le plus bref délai possible les biens enlevés du territoire de l’une quelconque des Nations Unies. 2. L’obligation de restituer s’applique à tous les biens identifiables se trouvant actuellement en Italie et qui ont été enlevés, par force ou par contrainte, du territoire de l’une des Nations Unies, par l’une des Puissances de l’Axe, quelles qu’aient été les transactions ultérieures par lesquelles le détenteur actuel de ces biens s’en est assuré la possession. 3. Le Gouvernement italien restituera en bon état les biens visés dans le présent article et prendra à sa charge tous les frais de main d’oeuvre, de matériaux et de transport engagés à cet effet en Italie. 4.

Les demandes devront être présentées dans un délai de six mois à partir de l’entrée en vigueur du présent Traité.61 Stat. 1283 7. Il incombera au Gouvernement requérant d’identifier le bien et d’en prouver la propriété et au Gouvernement italien d’apporter la preuve que le bien n’a pas été enlevé par force ou par contrainte. 8. Le Gouvernement italien restituera au Gouvernement de la Nation Unie intéressée tout l’or monétaire ayant fait l’objet de spoliations par l’Italie ou transféré indûment en Italie, ou livrera au Gouvernement de la Nation Unie intéressée une quantité d’or égale en poids et en titre à la quantité enlevée ou indûment transférée. Le Gouvernement italien reconnaît que cette obligation n’est pas affectée par les transferts ou les enlèvements d’or qui ont pu être effectués du territoire italien au profit d’autres Puissances de l’Axe ou d’un pays neutre. 9. Si, dans des cas particuliers, il est impossible à l’Italie d’effectuer la restitution d’objets présentant un intérêt artistique, historique ou archéologique qui font partie du patrimoine culturel de la Nation Unie du territoire de laquelle ces objets ont été enlevés par les ressortissants, les autorités ou les armées italiennes, usant de la force ou de la contrainte, l’Italie s’engage à remettre à la Nation Unie intéressée des objets de même nature ou d’une valeur sensiblement équivalente à celle des objets enlevés, dans la mesure où il est possible de s’en procurer en Italie. Section III—Abandon de réclamations par l’Italie Article 76 1. L’Italie renonce, au nom du Gouvernement italien et des ressortissants italiens, à faire valoir contre les Puissances Alliées et Associées, toute réclamation de quelque nature que ce soit résultant directement de la guerre ou de mesures prises par suite de l’existence d’un état de guerre en Europe après le 1" septembre 1939, que la Puissance Alliée ou Associée intéressée ait été ou non en guerre avec l’Italie à l’époque. Sont incluses dans cette renonciation: *(a)* Les réclamations relatives à des pertes ou dommages subis par suite de l’action des forces armées ou des autorités de Puissances Alliées ou Associées; *(b)* Les réclamations résultant de la présence, des opérations ou de l’action des forces armées ou des autorités de Puissances Alliées ou Associées sur le territoire italien;61 Stat. 1284 *(c)* Les réclamations portant sur les décisions ou les ordonnances des tribunaux de prises de Puissances Alliées ou Associées, l’Italie acceptant de reconnaître comme valides et comme ayant force exécutoire toutes les décisions et ordonnances desdits tribunaux de prises rendues au 1er septembre 1939 ou postérieurement à cette date et concernant les navires italiens, les marchandises italiennes ou le paiement des frais; *(d)* Les réclamations résultant de l’exercice des droits de belligérance ou de mesures prises en vue de l’exercice de ces droits. 2. Les dispositions du présent article excluront complètement et définitivement toutes réclamations de la nature de celles qui y sont visées, et qui seront dès lors éteintes, quelles que soient les parties intéressées. Le Gouvernement italien accepte de verser en lires une indemnité équitable pour satisfaire les réclamations des personnes qui ont fourni, sur réquisition, des marchandises ou des services aux forces armées de Puissances Alliés ou Associées sur le territoire italien, ainsi que les réclamations portées contre les forces armées de Puissances Alliées ou Associées relatives à des dommages causés sur le territoire italien et ne résultant pas de faits de guerre. 3. L’Italie renonce également, au nom du Gouvernement italien et des ressortissants italiens, à faire valoir des réclamations de la nature de celles qui sont visées au paragraphe 1 du présent article, contre toute Nation Unie qui a rompu les relations diplomatiques avec l’Italie et qui a pris des mesures en coopération avec les Puissances Alliées et Associées. 4. Le Gouvernement italien assumera la pleine responsabilité de toute la monnaie militaire alliée émise en Italie par les autorités militaires alliées, y compris toute la monnaie de cette nature en circulation à la date de l’entrée en vigueur du présent Traité. 5.

Les dispositions du présent article ne devront pas être considérées comme affectant les droits de propriété sur les câbles sous-marins qui, au début de la guerre, appartenaient au Gouvernement italien ou à des ressortissants italiens. Ce paragraphe ne fera pas obstacle à l’application aux câbles sous-marins de l’article 79 et de l’annexe XIV. Article 77 1. A dater de l’entrée en vigueur du présent Traité, les biens en Allemagne de l’Etat et des ressortissants italiens ne seront plus considérés comme biens ennemis et toutes les restrictions résultant de leur caractère ennemi seront levées. 2. Les biens identifiables de l’Etat et des ressortissants italiens que les forces armées ou les autorités allemandes ont enlevés, par force ou par contrainte, du territoire italien et emportés en Allemagne après le 3 septembre 1943, donneront lieu à restitution. 3. Le rétablissement des droits de propriété ainsi que la restitution des biens italiens en Allemagne seront effectués conformément aux mesures qui seront arrêtées par les Puissances occupant l’Allemagne. 4. Sans préjudice de ces dispositions et de toutes autres qui seraient prises en faveur de l’Italie et des ressortissants italiens par les Puissances occupant l’Allemagne, l’Italie renonce, en son nom et au nom des ressortissants italiens, à toutes réclamations contre l’Allemagne et les ressortissants allemands, qui n’étaient pas réglées au 8 mai 1945, à l’exception de celles qui résultent de contrats et d’autres obligations qui étaient en vigueur ainsi que de droits qui étaient acquis avant le 1er septembre 1939. Cette renonciation sera considérée comme s’appliquant aux créances, à toutes les réclamations de caractère intergouvememental relatives à des accords conclus au cours de la guerre et à toutes les réclamations portant sur des pertes ou des dommages survenus pendant la guerre. 5. L’Italie s’engage à prendre toutes les mesures nécessaires pour faciliter les transferts des biens allemands se trouvant en Italie, qui pourront être décidés par celles des Puissances occupant l’Allemagne qui ont le pouvoir de disposer des biens allemands se trouvant en Italie.61 Stat. 1286 PARTIE VII BIENS, DROITS ET INTERETS Section I—Biens des Nations Unies en Italie Article 78 1. Pour autant qu’elle ne l’a pas déjà fait, l’Italie rétablira tous les droits et intérêts légaux en Italie des Nations Unies et de leurs ressortissants, tels qu’ils existaient au 10 juin 1940, et restituera à ces Nations Unies et à leurs ressortissants tous les biens leur appartenant en Italie dans l’état où ils se trouvent actuellement. 2. Le Gouvernement italien restituera tous les biens, droits et intérêts visés au présent article, libres de toutes hypothèques et charges quelconques dont ils auraient pu être grevés du fait de la guerre, et sans que la restitution donne lieu à la perception d’aucune somme de la part du Gouvernement italien. Le Gouvernement italien annulera toutes mesures, y compris les mesures de saisie, de séquestre ou de contrôle, prises par lui à l’égard des biens des Nations Unies entre le 10 juin 1940 et la date d’entrée en vigueur du présent Traité. Dans le cas où le bien n’aurait pas été restitué dans les six mois à compter de la date d’entrée en vigueur du présent Traité, la demande devra être présentée aux autorités italiennes dans un délai maximum de douze mois à compter de cette même date, sauf dans les cas où le demandeur serait en mesure d’établir qu’il lui a été impossible de présenter sa demande dans ce délai. 3. Le Gouvernement italien annulera les transferts portant sur des biens, droits et intérêts de toute nature appartenant à des ressortissants des Nations Unies, lorsque ces transferts résultent de mesures de force ou de contrainte prises au cours de la guerre par les Gouvernements des Puissances de l’Axe ou par leurs organes. 4. *(a)* Le Gouvernement italien sera responsable de la remise en parfait état des biens restitués à des ressortissants des Nations Unies en vertu du paragraphe 1 du présent article. Lorsqu’un bien ne pourra être restitué ou que, du fait de la guerre, le ressortissant d’une Nation Unie aura subi une perte par suite d’une atteinte ou d’un dommage causé à un bien en Italie, le Gouvernement italien indemnisera le propriétaire en versant une somme en lires jusqu’à concurrence des deux tiers de la somme 61 Stat. 1287nécessaire à la date du paiement, pour permettre au bénéficiaire, soit d’acheter un bien équivalent, soit de compenser la perte ou le dommage subi. En aucun cas, les ressortissants des Nations Unies ne devront être l’objet d’un traitement moins favorable en matière d’indemnité que le traitement accordé aux ressortissants italiens. *(b)* Les ressortissants des Nations Unies qui détiennent directement ou indirectement des parts d’intérêts dans des sociétés ou associations qui ne possèdent pas la nationalité des Nations Unies, au sens du paragraphe 9 *(a)* du présent article, mais qui ont subi une perte par suite d’atteintes ou de dommages causés à leurs biens en Italie recevront une indemnité conformément à l’alinéa *(a)* ci-dessus. Cette indemnité sera calculée en fonction de la perte ou du dommage total subi par la société ou l’association, et son montant par rapport au total de la perte ou du dommage subi aura la même proportion que la part d’intérêts détenue par les dits ressortissants par rapport au capital global de la société ou association en question. *(c)* L’indemnité sera versée, nette de tous prélèvements, impôts ou autres charges. Elle pourra être librement employée en Italie mais sera soumise aux règlements relatifs au contrôle des changes qui pourront, à un moment donné, être en vigueur en Italie. *(d)* Le Gouvernement italien accordera aux ressortissants des Nations Unies une indemnité en lires, dans la même proportion que celle prévue à l’alinéa *(a)* ci-dessus pour compenser la perte ou les dommages qui résultent de mesures spéciales prises pendant la guerre à l’encontre de leurs biens et qui ne visaient pas les biens italiens. Cet alinéa ne s’applique pas à un manque à gagner. 5. Tous les frais raisonnables auxquels donnera lieu, en Italie, l’établissement des demandes, y compris l’évaluation des pertes et des dommages, seront à la charge du Gouvernement italien. 6. Les ressortissants des Nations Unies ainsi que leurs biens seront exemptés de tous impôts, contributions ou taxes exceptionnels, auxquels le Gouvernement italien ou une autorité italienne quelconque auraient soumis leurs avoirs en capital en Italie entre le 3 Septembre 1943 et la date d’entrée en vigueur du présent Traité, en vue de couvrir les dépenses résultant de la guerre ou celles qui ont été entraînées par l’entretien des forces d’occupation ou par les réparations à payer à l’une des Nations 61 Stat. 1288Unies. Toutes les sommes qui auraient été ainsi perçues seront remboursées. 7. En dépit des transferts de territoires prévus par le présent Traité, l’Italie demeurera responsable des pertes ou des dommages causés, pendant la guerre, aux biens des ressortissants des Nations Unies dans les territoires cédés ou dans le Territoire Libre de Trieste. Les obligations contenues dans les paragraphes 3, 4, 5 et 6 du présent article incomberont également au Gouvernement italien à l’égard des biens des ressortissants des Nations Unies dans les territoires cédés et dans le Territoire Libre de Trieste, mais seulement dans la mesure où il n’en résultera pas de contradiction avec les dispositions du paragraphe 14 de l’annexe X et du paragraphe 14 de l’annexe XIV du présent Traité. 8. Le propriétaire des biens en question et le Gouvernement italien pourront conclure des arrangements qui se substitueront aux dispositions du présent article. 9. Aux fins du présent article: *(a)* L’expression “ressortissants des Nations Unies” s’applique aux personnes physiques qui sont ressortissants de l’une quelconque des Nations Unies, ainsi qu’aux sociétés ou associations constituées sous le régime des lois de l’une des Nations Unies lors de l’entrée en vigueur du présent Traité, à condition que lesdites personnes physiques, sociétés ou associations aient déjà possédé ce statut le 3 septembre 1943, date de l’armistice avec l’Italie. L’expression “ressortissants des Nations Unies” comprend également toutes les personnes physiques et les sociétés ou associations qui, aux termes de la législation en vigueur en Italie pendant la guerre, ont été traitées comme ennemis. *(b)* Le terme “propriétaire” désigne le ressortissant d’une des Nations Unies, tel qu’il est défini à l’alinéa
(o)ci-dessus, qui a un titre légitime au bien en question, et s’applique au successeur du propriétaire, à condition que ce successeur soit aussi ressortissant d’une des Nations Unies au sens de l’alinéa (a). Si le successeur a acheté le bien lorsque celui-ci était déjà endommagé, le vendeur conservera ses droits à l’indemnisation résultant du présent article, sans que les obligations existant entre le vendeur et l’acquéreur, en vertu de la législation interne, en soient affectées. *(c)* Le terme “biens” désigne tous les biens mobiliers ou immobiliers, corporels ou incorporels, y compris les droits de propriété industrielle, 61 Stat. 1289littéraire et artistique, ainsi que tous droits ou intérêts de nature quelconque dans des biens. Sans préjudice des dispositions générales qui précèdent, les biens des Nations Unies et de leurs ressortissants comprennent tous les bâtiments de mer et de navigation intérieure avec leurs gréments et leurs équipements, qui appartenaient aux Nations Unies ou à leurs ressortissants ou étaient enregistrés sur le territoire de l’une des Nations Unies ou naviguaient sous le pavillon de l’une des Nations Unies, et qui postérieurement au 10 juin 1940, qu’ils se soient trouvés dans les eaux italiennes ou qu’ils y aient été amenés de force, furent soumis au contrôle des autorités italiennes en tant que biens ennemis, ou cessèrent d’être en Italie à la libre disposition des Nations Unies ou de leurs ressortissants, du fait de mesures de contrôle prises par les autorités italiennes en relation avec l’existence d’un état de guerre entre certaines des Nations Unies et l’Allemagne. Section II—Biens italiens situés sur le territoire des Puissances Alliées et Associées Article 79 1. Chacune des Puissances Alliées ou Associées aura le droit de saisir, retenir ou liquider tous les biens, droits et intérêts qui, à la date d’entrée en vigueur du présent Traité, se trouvent sur son territoire et appartiennent à l’Italie ou à des ressortissants italiens, et de prendre toute autre disposition en ce qui concerne ces biens, droits et intérêts. Elle aura également le droit d’employer ces biens ou le produit de leur liquidation à telles fins qu’elle pourra désirer, à concurrence du montant de ses réclamations ou de celles de ses ressortissants contre l’Italie ou les ressortissants italiens (y compris les créances), qui n’auront pas été entièrement réglées en vertu d’autres articles du présent Traité. Tous les biens italiens ou le produit de leur liquidation en excédent du montant desdites réclamations seront restitués. 2. La liquidation des biens italiens et les mesures de disposition dont ils feront l’objet devront s’effectuer conformément à la législation de la Puissance Alliée ou Associée intéressée. En ce qui concerne lesdits biens, 61 Stat. 1290le propriétaire italien n’aura pas d’autres droits que ceux que peut lui conférer la législation en question. 3. Le Gouvernement italien s’engage à indemniser les ressortissants italiens dont les biens seront saisis en vertu du présent article et auxquels ces biens ne seront pas restitués. 4. Il ne résulte du présent article aucune obligation, pour l’une quel-conque des Puissances Alliées ou Associées, de restituer au Gouvernement ou aux ressortissants italiens des droits de propriété industrielle, ni de faire entrer ces droits dans le calcul des sommes qui pourront être retenues en vertu du paragraphe 1 du présent article. Le Gouvernement de chacune des Puissances Alliées ou Associées aura le droit d’imposer aux droits ou intérêts afférents à la propriété industrielle sur le territoire de cette Puissance Alliée ou Associée, acquis par le Gouvernement italien ou ses ressortissants avant l’entrée en vigueur du présent Traité, telles limitations, conditions ou restrictions que le Gouvernement de la Puissance Alliée ou Associée intéressée pourra considérer comme nécessaires dans l’intérêt national. 5. *(a)* Les câbles sous-marins italiens reliant des points situés en territoire yougoslave seront réputés propriété italienne en Yougoslavie, même si une certaine partie de ces câbles se trouve en dehors des eaux territoriales yougoslaves. *(b)* Les câbles sous-marins italiens reliant un point situé sur le territoire d’une Puissance Alliée ou Associée et un point situé en territoire italien seront réputés propriété italienne au sens du présent article en ce qui concerne les installations terminales ou les parties de câbles se trouvant dans les eaux territoriales de cette Puissance Alliée ou Associée. 6. Les biens visés au paragraphe 1 du présent article seront considérés comme comprenant les biens italiens qui ont fait l’objet de mesures de contrôle en raison de l’état de guerre existant entre l’Italie et la Puissance Alliée ou Associée dans la juridiction de laquelle les biens sont situés, mais ne comprendront pas: *(a)* Les biens du Gouvernement italien utilisés pour les besoins des missions diplomatiques ou consulaires; *(b)* Les biens appartenant à des institutions religieuses ou à des institutions philanthropiques privées et servant exclusivement à des fins religieuses ou philanthropiques;61 Stat. 1291 *(c)* Les biens des personnes physiques qui sont des ressortissants italiens et sont autorisées â résider, soit sur le territoire du pays où sont situés ces biens, soit sur le territoire de l’une quelconque des Nations Unies, autres que les biens italiens qui, à un moment quelconque au cours de la guerre, ont fait l’objet de mesures qui ne s’appliquaient pas d’une manière générale aux biens des ressortissants italiens résidant sur le territoire en question; *(d)* Les droits de propriété nés depuis la reprise des relations commerciales et financières entre les Puissances Alliées et Associées et l’Italie, ou nés de transactions entre le Gouvernement d’une Puissance Alliée ou Associée et l’Italie depuis le 3 septembre 1943; *(e)* Les droits de propriété littéraire et artistique; *(f)* Les biens des ressortissants italiens, situés dans les territoires cédés, auxquels s’appliqueront les dispositions de l’annexe XIV; *(g)* Exception faite des avoirs visés au paragraphe 2 *(b)* de la partie A et au paragraphe 1 de la partie D de l’article 74, les biens des personnes physiques résidant dans les territoires cédés ou dans le Territoire Libre de Trieste, qui n’exercent pas le droit d’option pour la nationalité italienne que leur confère le présent Traité, ainsi que les biens des sociétés ou asso-ciations dont le siège social est situé dans les territoires cédés ou dans le Territoire Libre de Trieste, à condition que ces sociétés ou associations ne soient ni la propriété de personnes résidant en Italie, ni contrôlées par elles. Dans les cas prévus au paragraphe 2 *(b)* de la partie A et au paragraphe 1 de la partie D de l’article 74, la question de l’indemnisation sera réglée conformément aux dispositions de la partie E de cet article. Section III—Déclaration des Puissances Alliées et Associées au sujet de leurs réclamations Article 80 Les Puissances Alliées et Associées déclarent que les droits qui leur sont attribués par les articles 74 et 79 du présent Traité couvrent toutes leurs réclamations et celles de leurs ressortissants pour pertes ou dommages résultant de faits de guerre y compris les mesures prises à la faveur de l’occupation de leur territoire, imputables à l’Italie et survenues en dehors 61 Stat. 1292du territoire italien, à l’exception cependant des réclamations fondées sur les articles 75 et 78. Section IV—Dettes Article 81 1. L’existence de l’état de guerre ne doit pas être considérée en soi comme affectant l’obligation d’acquitter les dettes pécuniaires résultant d’obligations et de contrats qui étaient en vigueur et de droits qui étaient acquis avant l’existence de l’état de guerre, dettes qui étaient devenues exigibles avant l’entrée en vigueur du présent Traité et qui sont dues, soit par le Gouvernement ou les ressortissants italiens au Gouvernement ou aux ressortissants de l’une des Puissances Alliées ou Associées, soit par le Gouvernement ou les ressortissants d’une des Puissances Alliées ou Associées au Gouvernement ou aux ressortissants italiens. 2. Sauf disposition expressément contraire du présent Traité, aucune clause de ce Traité ne devra être interprétée comme affectant les rapports de débiteurs à créanciers résultant de contrats conclus avant la guerre soit par le Gouvernement soit par des ressortissants italiens. PARTIE VIII RELATIONS ECONOMIQUES GENERALES Article 82 1. En attendant la conclusion de traités ou d’accords commerciaux entre l’une quelconque des Nations Unies et l’Italie, le Gouvernement italien devra, pendant les dix-huit mois qui suivront l’entrée en vigueur du présent Traité, accorder à chacune des Nations Unies qui, en fait, accordent par voie de réciprocité un traitement analogue à l’Italie dans ces domaines, le traitement suivant: *(a)* Pour tout ce qui concerne les droits et redevances à l’importation ou à l’exportation, l’imposition à l’intérieur du pays des marchandises importées, et tous les règlements qui s’y rapportent, les Nations Unies bénéficieront de la clause inconditionnelle de la nation la plus favorisée; *(b)* L’Italie ne pratiquera, à tous autres égards, aucune discrimination arbitraire au détriment des marchandises en provenance ou à destination 61 Stat. 1293du territoire d’une Nation Unie par rapport aux marchandises analogues en provenance ou à destination du territoire de toute autre Nation Unie ou de tout autre pays étranger; *(c)* Les ressortissants des Nations Unies y compris les personnes morales bénéficieront du traitement national et de celui de la nation la plus favorisée pour tout ce qui a trait au commerce, à l’industrie, à la navigation et aux autres formes d’activité commerciale en Italie. Ces dispositions ne s’appliqueront pas à l’aviation commerciale; *(d)* L’Italie n’accordera à aucun pays de droit exclusif ou préférentiel en ce qui concerne l’exploitation des services aériens commerciaux pour les transports internationaux; elle offrira des conditions d’égalité à toutes les Nations Unies pour l’obtention de droits en matière de transports aériens commerciaux internationaux sur le territoire italien, y compris le droit d’atterrir à des fins de ravitaillement et de réparation, et, en ce qui concerne l’exploitation des services aériens commerciaux pour les transports internationaux, elle accordera à toutes les Nations Unies, suivant le principe de la réciprocité et de la non-discrimination, le droit de survoler le territoire italien sans escale. Ces dispositions n’affecteront pas les intérêts de la dé-fense nationale de l’Italie. 2. Les engagements ci-dessus pris par l’Italie doivent s’entendre sous réserve des exceptions usuelles des traités de commerce conclus par l’Italie avant la guerre; les dispositions relatives à la réciprocité accordée par chacune des Nations Unies doivent s’entendre sous réserve des exceptions usuelles des traités de commerce conclus par celle-ci. PARTIE IX REGLEMENT DES DIFFERENDS Article 83 1. Tous les différends qui pourront s’élever à propos de l’application des articles 75 et 78, ainsi que des annexes XIV, XV, XVI et XVII, partie B, du présent Traité, seront soumis à une commission de conciliation, composée d’un représentant du Gouvernement de la Nation Unie intéressée et d’un représentant du Gouvernement italien, agissant sur un 61 Stat. 1294pied d’égalité. Si un règlement n’est pas intervenu dans les trois mois qui suivront la date à laquelle le différend a été soumis à la commission de conciliation, l’un ou l’autre Gouvernement pourra demander l’adjonction à la commission d’un tiers membre choisi, d’un commun accord, entre les deux Gouvernements, parmi les ressortissants d’un Etat tiers. A défaut d’accord dans un délai de deux mois, entre les deux Gouvernements, sur le choix de ce membre, ces Gouvernements s’adresseront aux Ambassadeurs des Etats-Unis d’Amérique, de France, du Royaume-Uni et de l’Union Soviétique, qui désigneront le tiers membre de la commission. Si les Ambassadeurs ne parviennent pas à se mettre d’accord dans le délai d’un mois sur la désignation du tiers membre, l’une ou l’autre partie pourra demander au Secrétaire Général de l’Organisation des Nations Unies de procéder à cette désignation. 2. Lorsqu’une commission de conciliation sera constituée en application du paragraphe 1, elle aura compétence pour connaître de tous les différends qui pourront s’élever par la suite entre la Nation Unie intéressée et l’Italie au sujet de l’application ou de l’interprétation des articles 75 et 78, ainsi que des annexes XIV, XV, XVI et XVII, partie B, du présent Traité, et elle remplira les fonctions qui lui sont dévolues par ces dispositions. 3.

De là, suivant toujours la ligne de partage des eaux, le tracé remonte sur la Costa del Belvedere dont il suit les affleurements rocheux, gravit le Mt Belvedere dont il contourne le sommet, laissant ce dernier en territoire français à 120 mètres de la frontière, et rejoint par les cotes 2570, 2703, la Bella Valetta et la cote 2746, l’ancienne frontière au Mt Valaisan. Plateau du Mont Cenis Référence: Cartes au 20.000° de Lanslebourg Nos 5–6 et 7–8 et de Mont d’Ambin Nos 1–2 La nouvelle frontière suit un tracé qui quitte l’ancienne frontière au Mt Tour, suit vers l’ouest la limite administrative figurant sur la carte, s’engage dans le T. Vitoun dès qu’il le rencontre sur sa branche nord et descend son cours jusqu’à la Rocca délia Toretta. Longeant ensuite la ligne d’affleurements rocheux, il aboutit au torrent venant de l’Alpe Lamet et descend avec lui jusqu’à la base de l’escarpement rocheux qu’il longe pendant 800 m. environ jusqu’au thalweg en un point situé à environ 200 m. au nord de la cote 1805. Il chemine ensuite au sommet des arrachements qui dominent Ferrera Cenisio à 300 m. environ et continuant vers l’ouest, il rencontre la route qui contourne à l’est le Rne Paradiso à 400 m. à l’ouest de la boucle
(1854)pour l’abandonner aussitôt et s’infléchir en direction du sud. Il coupe la route de Bar Cenisia à 100 m. environ du sud-est du refuge 5, traverse le thalweg en direction du lac S. Giorgio, suit sensiblement la courbe 1900 jusqu’à hauteur de la cote 1907, vient longer au sud le lac d’Arpon et rejoint l’arête rocheuse sur laquelle il se maintient en direction du sud-ouest jusqu’au confluent des torrents issus du glacier du Bard (Ghiaccajo di Bard), en un point situé à 1400 m. environ du sud-ouest du lac d’Arpon. De là, s’infléchissant vers le sud, il suit approximativement la courbe 2500, passe à la cote 2579 puis, longeant la courbe 2600, il arrive au lac délia Vecchia et vient retrouver, à la limite administrative marquée sur la carte à 700 m. environ du sud-est du lac, le chemin de Pso d’Avanza qui le conduit le long des escarpements rocheux à l’ancienne frontière, à mi-distance entre le Col de la Vecchia et le Col de Clapier.61 Stat. 1301 Mont-Thabor Référence: Carte au 20.000° de Névache Nos 1–2, 5–6 et 7–8 De la cime de la Planette au Rocher de Guion (Cima del Sueur) La nouvelle frontière suit un tracé qui se détache de l’ancienne frontière a la Cime de la Planette et, se dirigeant vers le sud, suit la crête, par les cotes 2980, 3178, la Rca Bemaude (3228), les cotes 2842, 2780, 2877, le Pso délia Gallina (2671), les cotes 2720, 2806 et la Pta Quattre Sorelle (2700). Descendant la croupe est de cette pointe, le tracé laisse en territoire français le point coté 2420, d’où il rejoint et suit à l’est le chemin conduisant aux constructions situées à 200 m. environ de la cote 2253, ce chemin et ces constructions étant laissés en territoire français. Il s’engage ensuite dans un thalweg passant à 300 m. environ au nord-est de la cote 1915 d’où il gagne l’extrémité nord-ouest du bassin qui, dans la Vallée Etroite (Valle Stretta), alimente les installations hydroélectriques de Sette Fontane, laissant ce bassin et ces installations en territoire italien. Contournant le bassin par le sud, il atteint le carrefour de routes de la cote 1499. Il emprunte ensuite le chemin qui épouse, à la lisière du bois, la courbe 1500 et qui le conduit à la Comba délia Gorgia aux environs de la courbe 1580; il remonte ensuite le thalweg vers la cote 1974 et rejoint le bord des escarpements du rocher de la Sueur jalonné par les cotes 2272, 2268, 2239, 2266, 2267, bord sur lequel il se maintient jusqu’à sa rencontre avec l’ancienne frontière, la crête du rocher et le chemin qui la longe restant en territoire français. Chaberton Référence: Carte au 20.000° de Briançon Nos 3–4 La nouvelle frontière suit un tracé qui quitte l’ancienne frontière à la cote 3042 (au nord de la cote 3070 et au nord de la pointe des Trois Scies) et emprunte l’arête rocheuse jusqu’à la Croce del Vallonetto. De la Croce del Vallonetto, il s’infléchit vers le sud et le long de l’arête rocheuse, rejoint la route du Chaberton au point où celle-ci pénètre dans le cirque du Clôt des Morts. Franchissant cette route et le thalweg qui la borde, le tracé suit 61 Stat. 1302approximativement pendant 1250 m. la courbe 2300 qui suit sur le terrain vers le sud-est une série d’affleurements rocheux et d’éboulis, puis il coupe en ligne droite le versant est du Mont Chaberton, atteint un point situé à 400 m. environ à l’ouest de la cote 2160, laissant en territoire français la recette intermédiaire du téléférique qui se trouve en cet endroit. De là, il se dirige en ligne droite, à travers une série de barres rocheuses et de ravins escarpés, vers la position non figurée sur la carte de la Fontaine des Chamois près de la cote 2228 (1,4 km. environ nord-est de Clavières), qu’il contourne par l’est en suivant la deuxième boucle de la route joignant cette position à la caserne fortifiée du Chaberton (sur la route de Cézanne (Cesana) à Clavières), laissant les ouvrages fortifiés de la Fontaine des Chamois en territoire français. Ensuite, longeant d’abord en direction du Sud la limite de commune marquée sur la carte et ensuite la barre rocheuse à 400 mètres environ au nord de la route Clavières-Cézanne (Cesana), il s’infléchit vers le sud-ouest, passant au bas des falaises rocheuses à une distance de ces dernières suffisante pour permettre la construction d’une route à double circulation. Contournant ainsi par le nord le village de Clavières, laissé en territoire italien, il rencontre le Rio Secco à 200 m. environ en amont du pont de Clavières et descend son cours, puis celui de la Doire Ripaire (Doria Riparia) jusqu’à la route de Clavières au Val Gimont, laissé à l’Italie, route qu’il suit jusqu’au pont sur le Gimont. Remontant le cours de celui-ci sur environ 300 m., le tracé l’abandonne pour suivre le chemin muletier qui le conduit à la recette supérieure du téléférique de Clavières (Col du Mont Fort du Boeuf) qu’il laisse en territoire français. Il rejoint ensuite par la crête la frontière actuelle au Mont la Plane, borne frontière 251. La route de la vallée du Gimont est laissée en territoire italien.

Les aéronefs commerciaux immatriculés sur le territoire de l’une quelconque des Nations Unies, qui accorde les mêmes droits sur son territoire aux aéronefs commerciaux immatriculés dans le Territoire Libre, jouiront des droits accordés à l’aviation commerciale dans le trafic international, notamment le droit d’atterrir à des fins de ravitaillement et de réparations, le droit de survoler sans escale le Territoire Libre, et d’utiliser pour les transports aériens les aéroports qui pourront être désignés par les autorités compétentes du Territoire Libre. 2. Ces droits ne seront pas soumis à d’autres restrictions que celles qui sont imposées sur une base de non-discrimination par les lois et les règlements en vigueur dans le Territoire Libre et dans les pays intéressés ou qui résultent du caractère spécial du Territoire Libre, en tant que territoire neutre et démilitarisé. Article 33. Immatriculation des Navires 1. Le Territoire Libre est habilité à ouvrir des registres en vue de l’immatriculation des navires et bâtiments appartenant soit au Gouvernement 61 Stat. 1325du Territoire Libre, soit à des personnes physiques ou à des organisations domiciliées dans le Territoire Libre. 2. A la demande de la Tchécoslovaquie et de la Confédération helvétique, le Territoire Libre ouvrira des registres maritimes spéciaux pour les navires et bâtiments tchécoslovaques et helvétiques. Après la conclusion du Traités de Paix avec la Hongrie et du traité rétablissant l’indépendance de l’Autriche respectivement, le Territoire Libre ouvrira, dans les mêmes conditions, des registres maritimes spéciaux pour les navires et bâtiments hongrois et autrichiens. Les navires et bâtiments inscrits dans ces registres battront pavillon de leurs pays respectifs. 3. En donnant effet aux dispositions ci-dessus, et sous réserve de toute convention internationale qui viendrait à être conclue à cet égard avec la participation du Gouvernement du Territoire Libre, celui-ci pourra établir telles conditions concernant l’immatriculation, le maintien sur les registres ou la radiation, qui empêcheront tous abus auxquels donneraient lieu les facilités ainsi accordées. En ce qui concerne, notamment, les navires et bâtiments immatriculés conformément au paragraphe 1 ci-dessus, l’immatriculation sera limitée aux navires et bâtiments gérés du Territoire Libre et servant régulièrement les besoins ou les intérêts du Territoire. Dans le cas des navires et bâtiments immatriculés conformément au paragraphe 2 ci-dessus, l’immatriculation sera limitée aux navires et bâtiments ayant Trieste pour port d’attache et servant d’une manière régulière et permanente les besoins de leurs pays respectifs par le port de Trieste. Article 34. Port Franc Il sera créé, dans le Territoire Libre, un port franc qui sera administré conformément aux dispositions d’un Instrument international établi par le Conseil des Ministres des Affaires Etrangères et approuvé par le Conseil de Sécurité. Le texte de cet Instrument figure en annexe au présent Traité (annexe VIII). Le Gouvernement du Territoire Libre mettra en vigueur la législation nécessaire et prendra toutes mesures utiles pour donner effet aux dispositions de cet Instrument. Article 35. Liberté de Transit La liberté de transit sera assurée conformément aux conventions internationales usuelles par le Territoire Libre et les Etats par les territoires 61 Stat. 1326desquels s’effectue le transit, aux marchandises transportées par chemin de fer entre le Port Franc et les Etats qu’il dessert, sans aucune discrimination et sans droits de douane, ni taxes autres que celles qui seraient perçues à l’occasion de services rendus. Article 36. Interprétation du Statut Exception faite des cas pour lesquels une autre procédure est expressément prévue par un article du présent Statut, tout différend relatif à l’interprétation ou à l’exécution du Statut qui n’a pas été réglé par voie de négociations directes, sera, à moins que les parties ne conviennent entre elles d’un autre mode de règlement, soumis, à la demande de l’une ou l’autre des parties, à mie commission composée d’un représentant de chacune des parties et d’un tiers membre, choisi d’un commun accord par les deux parties parmi les ressortissants d’un pays tiers. A défaut d’accord dans le délai d’un mois entre les deux parties au sujet de la désignation du tiers membre, l’une ou l’autre partie pourra demander au Secrétaire Général des Nations Unies de procéder à cette désignation. La décision de la majorité des membres da la commission sera considérée comme décision de la commission et acceptée par les parties comme définitive et obligatoire. Article 37. Modification du Statut Le présent Statut constitue le Statut Permanent du Territoire Libre, sous réserve de toute modification que le Conseil de Sécurité pourra y apporter ultérieurement. L’Assemblée populaire pourra, à la suite d’un vote pris à la majorité des deux tiers des suffrages exprimés, adresser des pétitions au Conseil de Sécurité en vue de la modification du Statut.

Jusqu’à l’entrée en fonctions du Gouverneur, le Territoire Libre continuera d’être administré par les Commandements militaires alliés agissant chacun dans leur zone respective. Article 2 Dès son entrée en fonctions dans le Territoire Libre, le Gouverneur aura le pouvoir de constituer un Conseil Provisoire de Gouvernement dont il choisira les membres, après consultation des Gouvernements yougoslave et italien, parmi des personnes domiciliées dans le Territoire Libre. Le Gouverneur aura le droit de modifier la composition du Conseil Provisoire de Gouvernement chaque fois qu’il le jugera nécessaire. Le Gouverneur et le Conseil Provisoire de Gouvernement exerceront leurs fonctions de la manière prescrite par les dispositions du Statut Permanent, à mesure que ces dispositions s’avéreront applicables et pour autant que celles du présent Instrument ne s’y substituent pas. De la même façon, toutes les autres dispositions du Statut Permanent seront applicables pendant la durée du régime provisoire, à mesure que ces dispositions s’avéreront applicables et pour autant que celles du présent Instrument ne s’y substituent pas. Dans ses actes, le Gouverneur sera guidé surtout par le souci des besoins et du bien-être de la population. Article 3 Le siège du Gouvernement sera établi à Trieste. Le Gouverneur adressera ses rapports directement au Président du Conseil de Sécurité et, par son entremise, fournira au Conseil tous renseignements nécessaires sur l’administration du Territoire Libre.

Il nommera, à titre provisoire, un Directeur de la Sûreté qui réorganisera et dirigera les forces de police et les services de Sûreté. Article 5 a) Dès l’entrée en vigueur du présent Traité, l’effectif des troupes 61 Stat. 1328stationnées dans le Territoire Libre ne dépassera pas 5.000 hommes pour le Royaume-Uni, 5.000 hommes pour les Etats-Unis d’Amérique et 5.000 hommes pour la Yougoslavie. b) Ces troupes seront mises à la disposition du Gouverneur pendant une période de quatre vingt dix jours à partir de son entrée en fonctions dans le Territoire Libre. Dès la fin de cette période, ces troupes cesseront d’être à la disposition du Gouverneur et seront retirées du Territoire dans un délai complémentaire de quarante cinq jours, à moins que le Gouverneur n’avise le Conseil de Sécurité qu’il estime nécessaire, dans l’intérêt du Territoire, de maintenir ces troupes, en totalité ou en partie. Dans cette dernière hypothèse, les troupes requises par le Gouverneur seront maintenues pendant quarante cinq jours au plus, après que le Gouverneur aura avisé le Conseil de Sécurité que l’ordre intérieur dans le Territoire peut être assuré par les Services de Sûreté sans l’aide de troupes étrangères. c) Les opérations de retrait prévues au paragraphe b) devront s’effectuer de manière à maintenir autant que possible la proportion prévue au paragraphe a) entre les troupes des trois Puissances intéressées. Article 6 Le Gouverneur aura le droit, à tout moment, de demander de l’aide aux Commandants en chef de ces contingents et cette aide lui sera donnée sans délai. Dans tous les cas où ce sera possible, le Gouverneur consultera les Commandants militaires intéressés avant de donner ses instructions, mais il ne s’immiscera pas dans les dispositions d’ordre militaire prises à l’égard des forces armées dans l’exécution de ses instructions. Chaque Commandant en chef a le droit de communiquer, par rapport, à son Gouvernement les instructions qu’il aura reçues du Gouverneur, et il informera le Gouverneur du contenu de ces rapports. Le Gouvernement intéressé aura le droit de refuser que ses troupes participent à l’opération en question et il informera le Conseil de Sécurité de son refus. Article 7 Les dispositions nécessaires relatives aux lieux de stationnement, à l’administration et à l’approvisionnement des contingents militaires fournis par le Royaume-Uni, les Etats-Unis d’Amérique et la Yougoslavie, seront fixées par accord entre le Gouverneur et les Commandants en chef de ces contingents.61 Stat. 1329 Article 8 Le Gouverneur sera chargé d’organiser, en consultation avec le Conseil Provisoire de Gouvernement, l’élection des membres de l’Assemblée Constituante dans les conditions prescrites par le Statut pour les élections à l’Assemblée Populaire. Les élections auront lieu, au plus tard, quatre mois après l’entrée en fonctions du Gouverneur. Dans le cas où il serait techniquement impossible de procéder aux élections dans ce délai, le Gouverneur en référera au Conseil de Sécurité. Article 9 Le Gouverneur établira le budget provisoire ainsi que les programmes provisoires d’exportations et d’importations, en consultation avec le Conseil Provisoire de Gouvernement et il s’assurera que les dispositions appropriées sont prises par le Conseil Provisoire de Gouvernement pour la gestion des finances du Territoire Libre. Article 10 Les lois et règlements existants resteront en vigueur, à moins qu’ils ne soient abrogés ou que leur application ne soit suspendue par le Gouverneur, et jusqu’à ce qu’ils le soient. Le Gouverneur aura le droit de modifier les lois et règlements existants ainsi que d’édicter de nouvelles lois et de nouveaux règlements, en accord avec la majorité du Conseil Provisoire de Gouvernement. Ces lois et règlements modifiés, ces nouvelles lois et ces nouveaux règlements ainsi que les actes du Gouverneur abrogeant les lois et règlements ou suspendant leur application seront valables à moins qu’ils ne soient modifiés, rapportés ou remplacés par des décisions de l’Assemblée Populaire ou du Conseil de Gouvernement, agissant dans leurs domaines respectifs après l’entrée en vigueur de la Constitution, et jusqu’à ce qu’ils le soient. Article 11 Jusqu’à l’établissement d’un régime monétaire séparé pour le Territoire Libre, la lire italienne continuera d’être la monnaie légale dans le Territoire Libre. Le Gouvernement italien fournira au Territoire Libre les moyens de change étranger et les instruments monétaires qui lui sont nécessaires, dans des conditions qui ne seront pas moins favorables que celles qui sont appliquées en Italie.61 Stat. 1330 L’Italie et le Territoire Libre concluront un accord pour donner effet aux dispositions ci-dessus et pour prévoir tout règlement qui pourrait être nécessaire entre les deux Gouvernements.

Article 11 La circulation de toutes personnes à l’entrée et à la sortie de la zone du Port Franc sera soumise à telle règlementation qui sera établie par les 61 Stat. 1333autorités du Territoire Libre. Toutefois cette règlementation sera établie de manière à ne pas gêner indûment la circulation à l’entrée et à la sortie du Port Franc des personnes, quelle que soit leur nationalité, qui exercent dans la zone du Port Franc une activité légitime. Article 12 Les règlements généraux et spéciaux en vigueur dans le Port Franc, ainsi que les barêmes des redevances à percevoir dans le Port Franc, devront être rendus publics.

Le Territoire Libre et les Etats qui assument les obligations résultant du présent Instrument et sur le territoire desquels ce trafic se fait en transit dans l’une ou l’autre direction, feront tout ce qui est en leur pouvoir pour faciliter à tous égards et dans toute la mesure possible la rapidité 61 Stat. 1334et la bonne marche de ce trafic à un prix raisonnable; ils n’adopteront, à l’égard du mouvement des marchandises à destination et en provenance du Port Franc, aucune mesure discriminatoire en matière de tarifs, de services et de règlements douaniers, sanitaires, de police ou autres. 3. Les Etats qui assument les obligations résultant du présent Instrument ne prendront aucune mesure réglementaire ou tarifaire qui détournerait artificiellement le trafic du Port Franc au profit d’autres ports maritimes. Les mesures prises par le Gouvernement yougoslave en vue d’aménager le trafic vers les ports de la Yougoslavie méridionale ne seront pas considérées comme des mesures visant à détourner artificiellement le trafic. Article 17 Le Territoire Libre et les Etats qui assument les obligations résultant du présent Instrument accorderont dans leurs territoires respectifs et sur une base de non-discrimination, la liberté des communications postales, télégraphiques et téléphoniques, conformément aux conventions internationales usuelles, entre la zone du Port Franc et tout pays, pour toute communication en provenance ou à destination de la zone du Port Franc.

Les membres et les fonctionnaires de la Commission Inter-61 Stat. 1336nationale bénéficieront, dans le Territoire Libre, de tels privilèges et immunités qui seront nécessaires au libre exercice de leurs fonctions. La Commission Internationale organisera son secrétariat, décidera de sa procédure et établira son budget. Les dépenses communes de la Commission Internationale seront réparties équitablement entre les Etats qui y sont représentés selon les proportions acceptées par eux en Commission Internationale. Article 23 La Commission Internationale aura le droit de procéder à des enquêtes et à des études sur toutes questions concernant l’exploitation, l’utilisation et l’administration du Port Franc ou les aspects techniques du transit entre le Port Franc et les Etats qu’il dessert, y compris l’unification des méthodes suivies pour assurer le trafic. La Commission Internationale agira soit de sa propre initiative, soit lorsque de telles questions auront été portées à son attention par tout Etat ou par le Territoire Libre ou par le Directeur du Port Franc. La Commission Internationale fera connaître son sentiment ou ses recommandations sur ces questions à l’Etat ou aux Etats intéressés, ou au Territoire Libre, ou au Directeur du Port Franc. Ces recommandations seront examinées et les mesures nécessaires seront prises. Toutefois, si le Territoire Libre ou l’Etat ou les Etats intéressés considèrent que ces mesures seraient incompatibles avec les dispositions du présent Instrument, la question pourra, à la demande du Territoire Libre ou de l’un quelconque des Etats intéressés, être réglée selon la procédure prévue à l’article 24. Article 24 Tout différend relatif à l’interprétation ou à l’exécution du présent Instrument, qui ne sera pas réglé par voie de négociations directes, devra, à moins que les parties conviennent entre elles d’un autre mode de règlement, être soumis, à la demande de l’une ou l’autre partie, à une commission composée d’un représentant de chacune des parties et d’un tiers membre choisi par accord entre les deux parties parmi des ressortissants de pays tiers. Si, dans le délai d’un mois, les deux parties ne parviennent pas à se mettre d’accord sur la désignation du tiers membre, l’une ou l’autre des parties pourra demander’ au Secrétaire Général des Nations Unies de procéder à sa nomination. La décision de la majorité des membres sera considérée comme décision de la Commission et acceptée par les parties comme définitive et obligatoire.61 Stat. 1337 Article 25 Des propositions d’amendements au présent Instrument pourront être présentées au Conseil de Sécurité par le Conseil de Gouvernement du Territoire Libre ou par trois au moins des Etats représentés à la Commission Internationale. Tout amendement approuvé par le Conseil de Sécurité prendra effet à la date fixée par celui-ci. Article 26 Aux fins du présent Instrument, un Etat sera considéré comme ayant assumé les obligations résultant dudit Instrument s’il est partie au Traité de Paix avec l’Italie ou s’il a notifié au Gouvernement de la République Française qu’il assumait ces obligations. ANNEXE IX Dispositions techniques relatives au Territoire Libre de Trieste (voir article 21) A. Alimentation en eau de la région nord-ouest de l’Istrie La Yougoslavie continuera à alimenter la région du nord-ouest de l’Istrie qui est située à l’intérieur des frontières du Territoire Libre de Trieste, en eau provenant de la source de San Giovanni de Pinguente au moyen du système d’alimentation en eau du Quieto, et en eau provenant de la source de Santa Maria del Risano au moyen du système d’alimentation en eau du Risano, sans que les quantités d’eau fournies puissent dépasser sensiblement celles qui étaient normalement mises à la disposition de la région; cette eau sera fournie selon le volume et le débit que le Territoire Libre pourra demander, en restant toutefois dans les limites imposées par les conditions naturelles. La Yougoslavie assurera l’entretien des canalisations d’eau, des réservoirs, des pompes, des dispositifs d’épuration et des autres installations se trouvant en territoire yougoslave, qui pourrait être nécessaire pour satisfaire à cette obligation. Une dérogation temporaire aux obligations précitées devra être accordée à la Yougoslavie pour lui permettre d’effectuer les réparations nécessaires aux installations d’alimentation en eau endommagées du fait de la guerre. Le Territoire Libre paiera, pour 61 Stat. 1338l’eau ainsi fournie, un prix raisonnable représentant sa participation, évaluée proportionnellement selon la quantité d’eau consommée dans le Territoire Libre, au montant total des frais d’exploitation et d’entretien des systèmes d’alimentation en eau du Quieto et du Risano. Au cas où le Territoire Libre aurait besoin à l’avenir de fournitures supplémentaires d’eau, la Yougoslavie s’engage à étudier la question avec les autorités du Territoire Libre et à prendre en accord avec elles telles mesures raisonnables qui seront nécessaires pour satisfaire à ces besoins. B. Fourniture du courant électrique 1. La Yougoslavie et l’Italie maintiendront l’alimentation actuelle en courant électrique du Territoire Libre de Trieste en fournissant à ce Territoire l’électricité en des quantités et à une cadence correspondant à ses besoins. Les quantités de courant fournies ne devront pas nécessairement, au début, dépasser sensiblement celles qui étaient normalement mises à la disposition de la région englobée dans le Territoire Libre, mais l’Italie et la Yougoslavie fourniront, à la demande du Territoire Libre, des quantités de courant qui iront en augmentant avec ses besoins, à condition que toute demande dépassant 20% de la quantité fournie normalement au Territoire Libre par les différentes sources d’alimentation en courant fasse l’objet d’un accord entre les Gouvernements intéressés. 2. Le prix que facturera la Yougoslavie ou l’Italie et que paiera le Territoire Libre pour le courant électrique qui lui sera fourni ne sera pas supérieur au prix compté en Yougoslavie ou en Italie pour la fourniture de quantités analogues d’électricité d’origine hydraulique produite par les mêmes sources de courant situées en territoire yougoslave ou italien. 3. La Yougoslavie, l’Italie et le Territoire Libre échangeront, de façon permanente, les renseignements relatifs au débit et à l’importance des réserves d’eau ainsi qu’à la production du courant électrique intéressant les centrales qui alimentent l’ancien district italien de la Vénétie Julienne, afin que chacune des trois parties soit en mesure de fixer ses besoins. 4. La Yougoslavie, l’Italie et le Territoire Libre maintiendront en bon état de marche toutes les centrales électriques, lignes de transport de force, sous-stations et autres installations nécessaires pour assurer l’alimentation continue de l’ancien district italien de la Vénétie Julienne en courant électrique. 5. La Yougoslavie devra garantir que les installations de production d’énergie actuelles et futures de l’Isonzo
(Soca)seront exploitées de telle sorte que les quantités d’eau dont l’Italie pourra avoir besoin périodiquement pour irriguer la région comprise entre Gorizia et la côte de l’Adriatique au sud-ouest de cette ville, puissent être prélevées dans l’Isonzo (Soca). L’Italie ne pourra pas revendiquer le droit d’utiliser l’eau de l’Isonzo
(Soca)en plus grande quantité ou dans des conditions plus favorables qu’elle ne le faisait habituellement dans le passé.61 Stat. 1339 6. La Yougoslavie, l’Italie et le Territoire Libre devront négocier en commun une convention acceptable pour toutes les parties et conforme aux dispositions ci-dessus, en vue du maintien de l’exploitation du réseau électrique qui dessert l’ancien district italien de la Vénétie Julienne. Une commission mixte dans laquelle les trois Gouvernements seront représentés sur un pied d’égalité sera instituée pour surveiller l’exécution des obligations découlant des dispositions des paragraphes 1 à 5 ci-dessus. 7. A l’expiration d’une période de dix ans à partir de la date d’entrée en vigueur du présent Traité, la Yougoslavie, l’Italie et le Territoire Libre soumettront à un nouvel examen les dispositions qui précèdent, en tenant compte des conditions qui existeront à ce moment, en vue de déterminer celles des obligations ci-dessus qui, le cas échéant, ne seraient plus nécessaires et y apporteront telles modifications, suppressions ou adjonctions dont les parties intéressées pourront convenir. Tous différends qui pourront s’élever à la suite de ce nouvel examen, seront réglés selon la procédure indiquée à l’article 87 du présent Traité. C. Dispositions tendant à faciliter les échanges frontaliers Dans le mois qui suivra l’entrée en vigueur du présent Traité, des négociations seront engagées entre la Yougoslavie et le Territoire Libre de Trieste, ainsi qu’entre l’Italie et le Territoire Libre de Trieste en vue de conclure des arrangements tendant à faciliter le mouvement, d’un côté à l’autre des frontières, entre le Territoire Libre et les régions limitrophes yougoslaves et italiennes, des denrées alimentaires et des marchandises d’autres catégories qui ont fait normalement l’objet d’échanges locaux entre ces régions, à condition qu’il s’agisse de denrées ou de marchandises récoltées, produites ou manufacturées dans les territoires respectifs. Ces échanges pourront être facilités par des mesures appropriées, notamment en exemptant 61 Stat. 1340de droits et redevances de douanes et de toutes taxes à l’exportation ou à l’importation les produits en question, à concurrence de quantités ou de valeurs fixées d’un commun accord lorsque lesdits échanges ont un caractère local. ANNEXE X Dispositions économiques et financières concernant le Territoire Libre de Trieste 1. Le Territoire Libre de Trieste recevra, sans paiement, les biens italiens d’Etat ou parastataux situés dans le Territoire Libre. Au sens de la présente annexe, sont considérés comme biens d’Etat ou parastataux: les biens et propriétés de l’Etat italien, des collectivités publiques locales, des établissements publics et des sociétés et associations qui sont propriété publique ainsi que les biens et propriétés ayant appartenu au parti fasciste ou à des organisations auxiliaires de ce parti. 2. Tous les transferts de biens italiens d’Etat ou de biens italiens parastataux au sens du paragraphe 1 ci-dessus qui ont été effectués après le 3 septembre 1943, seront considérés comme nuis et non avenus. Toutefois, cette disposition ne s’appliquera pas aux opérations légales correspondant à l’activité courante des organismes d’Etat ou parastataux, dans la mesure où il s’agit de la vente, dans des conditions normales, de marchandises que ces organismes produisent ou vendent habituellement en exécution d’arrangements commerciaux normaux ou dans le cours normal d’activités administratives de caractère public. 3. Les câbles sous-marins appartenant à l’Etat italien ou à des organisations parastatales italiennes tomberont sous le coup des dispositions du paragraphe 1, pour ce qui concerne les installations terminales et les parties des câbles se trouvant dans les eaux territoriales du Territoire Libre. 4. L’Italie remettra au Territoire Libre toutes les archives et tous les documents appropriés présentant un caractère administratif ou un intérêt historique, qui se rapportent au Territoire Libre ou à des biens transférés en exécution du paragraphe 1 de la présente annexe. Le Territoire Libre remettra à la Yougoslavie tous les documents présentant le même caractère ou le même intérêt qui se rapportent au territoire cédé à la Yougoslavie en 61 Stat. 1341exécution du présent Traité, et il remettra à l’Italie tous les documents de même caractère ou intérêt, qui se rapportent au territoire italien et qui peuvent se trouver dans le Territoire Libre. La Yougoslavie se déclare prête à remettre au Territoire Libre toutes les archives et tous les documents de caractère administratif se rapportant à l’administration du Territoire Libre et nécessaires à cette seule fin, de la nature de ceux qui étaient habituellement détenus avant le 3 septembre 1943 par les autorités locales de la juridiction desquelles relevait la région qui fait maintenant partie du Territoire Libre. 5. Le Territoire Libre ne sera tenu de fournir aucune contribution pour le service de la Dette publique italienne, mais il devra assumer les obligations de l’Etat italien à l’égard des porteurs de titres de cette Dette qui seront soit des personnes physiques qui maintiendront leur résidence dans le Territoire Libre soit des personnes morales qui y conserveront leur siège social ou leur principal établissement, pour autant que ces obligations correspondront à la partie de cette Dette dont les titres ont été émis avant le 10 juin 1940 et qui est imputable à des travaux publics et des services administratifs civils dont ledit Territoire a bénéficié mais qui n’est imputable ni directement ni indirectement à des buts militaires. Toutes justifications pourront être demandées aux porteurs sur l’origine de ces titres. L’Italie et le Territoire Libre détermineront, par des arrangements, la partie de la Dette publique italienne qui est visée dans le présent paragraphe et les méthodes à appliquer pour l’exécution de ces dispositions. 6. Le régime futur des dettes extérieures gagées par des privilèges grevant les biens ou revenus du Territoire Libre sera déterminé par de nouveaux accords qui seront conclus par les parties intéressées. 7. L’Italie et le Territoire Libre régleront par des arrangements spéciaux les conditions dans lesquelles seront transférées à des organisations analogues du Territoire Libre les obligations des organisations d’assurances sociales italiennes publiques ou privées à l’égard des habitants du Territoire Libre, ainsi qu’une part proportionnelle des réserves accumulées par lesdites organisations. Des arrangements analogues conclus entre le Territoire libre et l’Italie ainsi qu’entre le Territoire libre et la Yougoslavie, régleront également les 61 Stat. 1342obligations des organisations d’assurances sociales publiques ou privées dont le siège social est situé dans le Territoire Libre, à l’égard des titulaires de polices ou des cotisants résidant respectivement en Italie ou sur un territoire cédé à la Yougoslavie en exécution du présent Traité. Le Territoire Libre et la Yougoslavie régleront également par des ar-rangements analogues les obligations des organisations d’assurances sociales publiques ou privées dont le siège social est situé dans le territoire cédé à la Yougoslavie en exécution du présent Traité, à l’égard des titulaires de polices ou des cotisants qui résident dans le Territoire Libre. 8. L’Italie restera tenue d’assurer le paiement des pensions civiles ou militaires acquises à la date d’entrée en vigueur du présent Traité au service de l’Etat italien ou de collectivités publiques italiennes, municipales ou locales, par des personnes qui reçoivent la citoyenneté du Territoire Libre en vertu du présent Traité; cette obligation s’étend aux droits à pension non encore échus. L’Italie et le Territoire Libre régleront par des arrangements les conditions dans lesquelles cette obligation sera remplie. 9. Les biens, droits et intérêts des ressortissants italiens qui ont établi leur domicile dans le Territoire Libre après le 10 juin 1940 et ceux des personnes qui optent pour la nationalité italienne en vertu des dispositions du Statut du Territoire Libre de Trieste seront, pendant une période de trois ans à partir de la date d’entrée en vigueur du présent Traité, respectés dans la même mesure que les biens, droits et intérêts des ressortissants du Territoire Libre en général, à condition qu’ils aient été légalement acquis. Les biens, droits et intérêts des autres ressortissants italiens et ceux des personnes morales, de nationalité italienne, qui sont situés dans le Territoire Libre, pourvu qu’ils aient été légalement acquis, ne seront soumis qu’à telles dispositions législatives qui pourront être éventuellement appliquées d’une manière générale aux biens des personnes physiques et morales de nationalité étrangère. 10. Les personnes qui opteront pour la nationalité italienne et qui établiront leur résidence en Italie seront autorisées, après acquittement des dettes ou impositions dont elles pourraient être redevables dans le Territoire Libre, à emporter avec elles leurs biens meubles et à transférer les fonds qu’elles possèdent, à condition que ces biens et ces fonds aient été légalement acquis. Le transfert des biens ne sera frappé d’aucun droit d’exportation 61 Stat. 1343ou d’importation. Ces personnes seront autorisées en outre à vendre leurs biens meubles et immeubles dans les mêmes conditions que les ressortissants du Territoire Libre. Le transfert des biens en Italie s’effectuera à des conditions qui ne seront pas en contradiction avec la Constitution du Territoire Libre et d’une manière qui sera fixée par accord entre l’Italie et le Territoire Libre. Les conditions et délais dans lesquels s’effectuera le transfert des fonds, y compris le produit des ventes, seront également fixés par accord. 11. Les biens, droits et intérêts existant en Italie à la date d’entrée en vigueur du présent Traité qui appartenaient à d’anciens ressortissants italiens résidant dans le Territoire Libre et devenus ressortissants du Territoire Libre en vertu du présent Traité, seront respectés par l’Italie, dans la même mesure que les biens, droits et intérêts des ressortissants italiens d’une façon générale, pendant une période de trois ans à partir de la date d’entrée en vigueur du présent Traité. Ces personnes seront autorisées à effectuer le tranfert et la liquidation de leurs biens, droits et intérêts dans les conditions prévues au paragraphe 10 ci-dessus. 12. Les sociétés constituées conformément à la législation italienne et dont le siège social est situé dans le Territoire Libre, qui désirent transférer leur siège social en Italie ou en Yougoslavie, devront également être traitées conformément aux dispositions du paragraphe 10 de la présente annexe, à condition que plus de cinquante pour cent du capital de la société appartienne à des personnes résidant normalement en dehors du Territoire Libre ou à des personnes qui transfèrent leur domicile en Italie ou en Yougoslavie. 13. Les dettes des personnes résidant en Italie ou sur un territoire cédé à la Yougoslavie envers des personnes résidant dans le Territoire Libre ou celles des personnes résidant dans le Territoire Libre envers des personnes résidant en Italie ou sur un territoire cédé à la Yougoslavie, ne seront pas affectées par la cession. L’Italie, la Yougoslavie, et le Territoire Libre s’engagent à faciliter le règlement de ces obligations. Aux fins du présent paragraphe, le terme “personnes’ s’applique aux personnes morales. 14. Les biens situés dans le Territoire Libre appartenant à l’une quel-conque des Nations Unies ou à ses ressortissants qui n’auraient pas encore été libérés du séquestre ou des mesures de contrôle auxquels ils ont été 61 Stat. 1344soumis par l’Italie, ni restitués à leur propriétaires, seront restitués dans l’état ou ils se trouvent actuellement. 15. L’Italie restituera les biens qui ont été illégalement enlevés du Territoire Libre après le 3 septembre 1943 et emportés en Italie. L’exécution de cette obligation sera régie par les paragraphes 2, 3, 4, 5 et 6 de l’article 75, sauf en ce qui concerne les biens faisant l’objet d’autres dispositions de la présente annexe. Les dispositions des paragraphes 1, 2, 5 et 6 de l’article 75, s’appliqueront à la restitution par le Territoire Libre des biens enlevés, pendant la guerre, du territoire de l’une quelconque des Nations Unies. 16. L’Italie restituera au Territoire Libre, dans le plus bref délai possible, tous navires détenus par l’Etat ou par des ressortissants italiens, qui, au 3 septembre 1943, appartenaient soit à des personnes physiques résidant dans le Territoire Libre et qui acquièrent la citoyenneté du Territoire Libre en vertu du présent Traité, soit à des personnes morales de nationalité italienne qui ont et conserveront leur siège social dans le Territoire Libre, exception faite des navires qui ont fait l’objet d’une vente effectuée de bonne foi. 17. Des accords seront conclus entre l’Italie et le Territoire Libre, ainsi qu’entre la Yougoslavie et le Territoire Libre, en vue de répartir d’une manière juste et équitable les biens de toute collectivité publique locale existante dont le territoire se trouve divisé par une frontière établie en vertu du présent Traité, et en vue d’assurer le maintien au profit des habitants de ceux des services communaux qui ne sont pas expressément visés par d’autres dispositions du Traité. Des accords analogues seront conclus pour répartir d’une manière juste et équitable le matériel roulant et autre matériel de chemin de fer, ainsi que l’outillage des bassins et des ports et les bateaux affectés à leur service; des accords régleront également toutes autres questions d’ordre économique en suspens qui ne sont pas visées par la présente annexe. 18. Les citoyens du Territoire Libre continueront, en dépit du transfert de souveraineté et de tout changement de nationalité qui en résultera, de jouir de tous les droits de propriété industrielle, littéraire et artistique en Italie auxquels ils pouvaient prétendre sous le régime de la législation en vigueur en Italie lors du transfert.61 Stat. 1345 Le Territoire Libre reconnaîtra les droits de propriété industrielle, littéraire et artistique qui existaient dans le Territoire Libre sous le régime des lois italiennes en vigueur au moment du transfert, ou qui devront être rétablis ou restitués conformément à la partie A de l’annexe XV du présent Traité, et il donnera effet à ces droits. Lesdits droits resteront en vigueur dans le Territoire Libre pendant la période durant laquelle ils seraient restés en vigueur sous le régime des lois italiennes. 19. Tout différend qui pourra s’élever à propos de l’exécution des dispositions de la présente annexe, sera réglé de la manière prévue à l’article 83 du présent Traité. 20. Les paragraphes 1, 3 et 5 de l’article 76, l’article 77, le paragraphe 3 de l’article 78, l’article 81, la partie A de l’annexe XV, l’annexe XVI et la partie B de l’annexe XVII s’appliqueront au Territoire Libre de Trieste de la même manière qu’à l’Italie.

Les Quatre Puissances régleront le sort définitif des territoires en question et procéderont aux ajustements appropriés de leurs frontières, en tenant compte des aspirations et du bien-être des habitants, ainsi que des exigences de la paix et de la sécurité, et en prenant en considération les vues des autres Gouvernements intéressés.61 Stat. 1346 3. Si les Quatre Puissances ne peuvent se mettre d’accord sur le sort de l’un quelconque de ces territoires dans un délai d’un an à partir de la date d’entrée en vigueur du Traité de Paix avec l’Italie, la question sera soumise a l’Assemblée générale des Nations Unies pour que celle-ci fasse une recommandation à son sujet, et les Quatre Puissances conviennent d’accepter cette recommandation et de prendre les mesures appropriées pour la mettre à exécution. 4. Les Suppléants des Ministres des Affaires Etrangères poursuivront l’examen de la question du sort des anciennes colonies italiennes en vue de soumettre au Conseil des Ministres des Affaires Etrangères leurs recom-mandations sur la question. En outre, ils enverront des commissions d’enquête dans telle ou telle des anciennes colonies italiennes afin de leur fournir les éléments nécessaires sur cette question et d’établir quelles sont les vues des habitants.

Le Gouvernement de l’Etat successeur ne sera tenu de fournir aucune contribution pour le service de la Dette publique italienne, mais il devra assumer les obligations de l’Etat italien à l’égard des porteurs de titres de cette Dette qui seront, soit des personnes physiques qui maintiendront leur résidence dans le territoire cédé, soit des personnes morales qui y conserveront leur siège social ou leur principal établissement, pour autant que ces obligations correspondront à la partie de cette Dette dont les titres ont été émis avant le 10 juin 1940 et qui est imputable à des travaux publics et des services administratifs civils dont ledit territoire a bénéficié, mais qui n’est imputable ni directement ni indirectement à des buts militaires. Toutes justifications pourront être demandées aux porteurs sur l’origine des titres.61 Stat. 1359 L’Etat successeur et l’Italie détermineront par des arrangements la partie de la Dette publique italienne qui est visée dans le présent paragraphe et les méthodes à appliquer pour l’exécution de ces dispositions. 7. L’Etat successeur et l’Italie régleront par des arrangements spéciaux les conditions dans lesquelles seront transférées à des organisations analogues de l’Etat successeur les obligations des organisations d’assurances sociales italiennes publiques ou privées à l’égard des habitants du territoire cédé, ainsi qu’une part proportionnelle des réserves accumulées par lesdites organisations. L’Etat successeur et l’Italie régleront également par des arrangements analogues les obligations des organisations d’assurances sociales, publiques ou privées, dont le siège social est situé dans le territoire cédé, à l’égard des titulaires de polices ou des cotisants qui résident en Italie. 8. L’Italie restera tenue d’assurer le paiement des pensions civiles ou militaires acquises, à la date d’entrée en vigueur du présent Traité, au service de l’Etat italien ou de collectivités publiques italiennes, municipales ou locales, par des personnes qui reçoivent la nationalité de l’Etat successeur en vertu du présent Traité; cette obligation s’étend aux droits à pension non encore échus. L’Etat successeur et l’Italie régleront par des arrangements les conditions dans lesquelles l’Italie s’aquittera de cette obligation. 9. Les biens, droits et intérêts des ressortissants italiens résidant d’une façon permanente dans les territoires cédés à la date d’entrée en vigueur du présent Traité, seront respectés dans la même mesure que ceux des ressortissants de l’Etat successeur, à condition qu’ils aient été légalement acquis. Les biens, droits et intérêts des autres ressortissants italiens et ceux des personnes morales de nationalité italienne qui sont situés dans le territoire cédé, pourvu qu’ils aient été légalement acquis, ne seront soumis qu’à telles dispositions législatives qui pourront être éventuellement appliquées d’une manière générale aux biens des personnes physiques et morales de nationalité étrangère. Ces biens, droits et intérêts ne seront sujets ni à être retenus, ni à être liquidés en vertu de l’article 79 du présent Traité; ils seront restitués à leurs propriétaires libérés des effets de toutes mesures de cette nature 61 Stat. 1360et de toute autre mesure de transfert, d’administration forcée ou de séquestre prise au cours de la période s’étendant entre le 3 septembre 1943 et la date d’entrée en vigueur du présent Traité. 10. Les personnes qui opteront pour la nationalité italienne et qui établiront leur résidence en Italie seront autorisées, après acquittement des dettes ou impositions dont elles pourraient être redevables sur le territoire cédé, à emporter avec elles leurs biens meubles et à transférer les fonds qu’elles possèdent à condition que ces biens et ces fonds aient été légalement acquis. Le transfert des biens ne sera frappé d’aucun droit d’exportation ou d’importation. En outre, ces personnes seront autorisées à vendre leurs biens meubles et immeubles dans les mêmes conditions que les ressortissants de l’Etat successeur. Le transfert des biens en Italie s’effectuera aux conditions et dans les limites convenues entre l’Etat successeur et l’Italie. Les conditions et délais dans lesquels s’effectuera le transfert des fonds, y compris le produit des ventes, seront également fixés par accord. 11. Les biens, droits et intérêts existant en Italie à la date d’entrée en vigueur du présent Traité qui appartenaient à d’anciens ressortissants italiens, résidant dans les territoires cédés et qui sont devenus ressortissants d’un autre pays en vertu du présent Traité, seront respectés par l’Italie dans la même mesure que les biens, droits et intérêts des ressortissants des Nations Unies d’une façon générale. Ces personnes seront autorisées à effectuer le transfert et la liquidation de leurs biens, droits et intérêts dans les conditions prévues au paragraphe 10 ci-dessus. 12. Les sociétés constituées conformément à la législation italienne et dont le siège social est situé dans le territoire cédé, qui désirent transférer leur siège social en Italie, devront également être traitées conformément aux dispositions du paragraphe 10 de la présente annexe, à condition que plus de cinquante pour cent du capital de la société appartienne à des personnes résidant normalement en dehors du territoire cédé ou à des personnes qui, en vertu du présent Traité, optent pour la nationalité italienne et transfèrent leur domicile en Italie, à condition que la société exerce son activité en majeure partie hors du territoire cédé. 13. Les dettes des personnes résidant en Italie envers des personnes 61 Stat. 1361résidant dans le territoire cédé ou celles des personnes résidant dans le territoire cédé envers des personnes résidant en Italie ne seront pas affectées par la cession. L’Etat successeur et l’Italie s’engagent à faciliter le règlement de ces obligations. Aux fins du présent paragraphe, le terme “personnes” s’applique aux personnes morales. 14. Les biens situés dans le territoire cédé appartenant à l’une quelconque des Nations Unies ou à ses ressortissants qui n’auraient pas encore été libérés du séquestre ou des mesures de contrôle auxquels ils ont été soumis par l’Italie, ni restitués à leurs propriétaires, seront restitués dans l’état où ils se trouvent actuellement. 15. Le Gouvernement italien reconnaît que l’accord de Brioni, en date du 10 août 1942, est nul et non avenu. Il s’engage à participer avec les autres signataires de l’accord de Rome, en date du 29 mai 1923, à toutes négociations ayant pour objet d’introduire dans ses dispositions des modifications nécessaires en vue d’assurer un règlement équitable des annuités qu’il prévoit. 16. L’Italie restituera les biens qui ont été illégalement enlevés des territoires cédés après le 3 septembre 1943 et transférés en Italie. Sauf disposition contraire de la présente annexe, l’exécution de cette obligation sera régie par les paragraphes 2, 3, 4, 5 et 6 de l’article 75. 17. L’Italie restituera à l’Etat successeur, dans les plus brefs délais possibles, tous navires détenus par l’Etat ou par des ressortissants italiens, qui, au 3 septembre 1943, appartenaient soit à des personnes physiques résidant sur le territoire cédé et qui acquièrent la nationalité de l’Etat successeur en vertu du présent Traité, soit à des personnes morales de nationalité italienne qui ont et conserveront leur siège social sur le territoire cédé, exception faite des navires qui ont fait l’objet d’une vente effectuée de bonne foi. 18. Les Etats successeurs et l’Italie concluront des accords répartissant d’une manière juste et équitable les biens de toute collectivité publique locale existante dont le territoire se trouve divisé par une frontière établie en vertu du présent Traité et assurant le maintien de ceux des services communaux nécessaires aux habitants qui ne sont pas expressément visés par d’autres dispositions du Traité. Des accords analogues seront conclus pour répartir, d’une manière 61 Stat. 1362juste et équitable, le matériel roulant et autre matériel de chemin de fer, ainsi que l’outillage des bassins et des ports et les bateaux affectés à leur service; des accords régleront également toutes autres questions d’ordre économique en suspens qui ne sont pas visées par la présente annexe. 19. Les dispositions de la présente annexe ne seront pas applicables aux anciennes colonies italiennes. Les dispositions économiques et financières qui leur seront appliquées seront incluses dans les arrangements qui, aux termes de l’article 23 du présent traité, régleront le sort de ces territoires. ANNEXE XV Dispositions spéciales concernant certaines catégories de biens A. Propriété industrielle, littéraire et artistique. 1. a. Un délai d’un an à compter de la date d’entrée en vigueur du présent Traité sera accordé aux Puissances Alliées et Associées et à leurs ressortissants sans paiement de droits de prorogation ou autres sanctions quelconques, en vue de leur permettre d’accomplir tous les actes nécessaires pour l’obtention ou la conservation en Italie des droits de propriété industrielle, littéraire ou artistique, qui n’ont pu être accomplis par suite de l’existence de l’état de guerre. b. Les Puissances Alliées et Associées ou leurs ressortissants, qui auront fait, sur le territoire de l’une quelconque des Puissances Alliées ou Associées, une demande, soit pour l’obtention d’un brevet ou l’enregistrement d’un modèle d’utilité au plus tôt douze mois avant l’ouverture des hostilités avec l’Italie ou au cours de celles-ci, soit pour l’enregistrement d’un dessin industriel, d’un modèle ou d’une marque de fabrique au plus tôt six mois avant l’ouverture des hostilités avec l’Italie ou au cours de celles-ci, auront le droit, pendant une période de douze mois à compter de la date d’entrée en vigueur du présent Traité, de demander des droits correspondants en Italie, avec un droit de priorité fondé sur le dépôt antérieur de leur demande sur le territoire de cette Puissance Alliée ou Associée. c. Il sera accordé à chacune des Puissances Alliées ou Associées et à ses ressortissants, à partir de la date d’entrée en vigueur du présent Traité, 61 Stat. 1363un délai d’un an pendant lequel ils pourront engager des poursuites en Italie contre les personnes physiques ou morales auxquelles serait imputé un empiétement illégal sur leurs droits de propriété industrielle, littéraire ou artistique entre la date de l’ouverture des hostilités et celle de l’entrée en vigueur du présent Traité. 2. Il ne sera pas tenu compte de la période comprise entre l’ouverture des hostilités et l’expiration du dix-huitième mois qui suivra la date d’entrée en vigueur du présent Traité dans la détermination de la période pendant laquelle un brevet d’invention doit être exploité, ou pendant laquelle un modèle ou une marque de fabrique doit être utilisé. 3. Il ne sera pas tenu compte de la période comprise entre l’ouverture des hostilités et la date d’entrée en vigueur du présent Traité dans le calcul de la durée normale de validité des droits de propriété industrielle, littéraire et artistique qui étaient en vigueur en Italie à l’ouverture des hostilités ou qui seront reconnus ou établis dans les conditions prévues à la partie A de la présente annexe, et qui appartiennent à l’une des Puissances Alliées ou Associées ou à ses ressortissants. La durée normale de validité de ces droits sera, par conséquent, considérée comme automatiquement prolongée en Italie, d’une nouvelle période correspondant à celle qui aura été ainsi exclue du décompte. 4. Les dispositions précédentes concernant les droits en Italie des Puissances Alliées et Associées et de leurs ressortissants, devront également s’appliquer aux droits de l’Italie et de ses ressortissants dans les territoires des Puissances Alliées et Associées. Toutefois, aucune de ces dispositions ne donnera à l’Italie ou à ses ressortissants droit à un traitement plus favorable sur le territoire de l’une des Puissances Alliées ou Associées que celui qui est accordé, dans les mêmes cas, par cette Puissance à l’une quelconque des autres Nations Unies ou à ses ressortissants; l’Italie ne sera pas non plus tenue, en vertu de ces dispositions, d’accorder à l’une des Puissances Alliées ou Associées ou à ses ressortissants, un traitement plus favorable que celui dont l’Italie ou ses ressortissants bénéficient sur le territoire de cette Puissance relativement aux matières auxquelles s’appliquent les précédentes dispositions. 5. Les tiers résidant sur le territoire de l’une quelconque des Puissances Alliées ou Associées ou sur le territoire italien, qui, avant la date d’entrée 61 Stat. 1364en vigueur du présent Traité, ont acquis de bonne foi des droits de propriété industrielle, littéraire ou artistique se trouvant en opposition avec des droits rétablis en vertu de la partie A de la présente annexe ou avec des droits obtenus grâce à la priorité qui leur est accordée en vertu des présentes dispositions, ou qui, de bonne foi, ont fabriqué, publié, reproduit, utilisé ou vendu l’objet de ces droits, seront autorisés à continuer d’exercer les droits qu’ils avaient acquis de bonne foi et à poursuivre ou reprendre la fabrication, la publication, la reproduction, l’utilisation ou la vente qu’ils avaient entreprises de bonne foi, sans s’exposer à des poursuites pour empiétement. L’autorisation sera donnée en Italie, sous la forme d’une licence sans exclusivité qui sera accordée à des conditions à fixer par entente entre les parties intéressées, ou, à défaut d’entente, par la commission de conciliation constituée en vertu de l’article 83 du présent Traité. Toutefois, dans les territoires de chacune des Puissances Alliées ou Associées, les tiers de bonne foi bénéficieront de la protection qui est accordée, dans les cas analogues, aux tiers de bonne foi dont les droits sont en opposition avec ceux de ressortissants des autres Puissances Alliées et Associées. 6. Aucune disposition de la partie A de la présente annexe ne devra être interprétée comme donnant à l’Italie ou à ses ressortissants sur le territoire de l’une quelconque des Puissances Alliées ou Associées, des droits à des brevets ou à des modèles d’utilité pour des inventions relatives à un article quelconque expressément désigné dans la définition du matériel de guerre figurant à l’annexe XIII du présent Traité, inventions qui ont été faites ou au sujet desquelles des demandes d’enregistrement ont été déposées par l’Italie ou par l’un de ses ressortissants, en Italie ou sur le territoire d’une autre Puissance de l’Axe ou sur un territoire occupé par les forces de l’Axe, pendant le temps où le territoire en question se trouvait sous le contrôle des forces ou des autorités des Puissances de l’Axe. 7. L’Italie accordera également le bénéfice des dispositions précédentes de la présente annexe aux Nations Unies, autres que les Puissances Alliées et Associées, dont les relations diplomatiques avec l’Italie ont été rompues pendant la guerre et qui s’engageront à accorder à l’Italie les avantages conférés à ce pays en vertu desdites dispositions. 8. Aucune disposition de la partie A de la présente annexe ne doit s’entendre comme étant en contradiction avec les articles 78, 79 et 81 du présent Traité.61 Stat. 1365 B. Assurances. 1. Exception faite des restrictions s’appliquant aux assureurs en général, il ne sera fait aucun obstacle à la reprise par les assureurs qui sont ressortissants des Nations Unies de leurs anciens portefeuilles. 2. Si un assureur, ressortissant d’une des Nations Unies, désire reprendre son activité professionnelle en Italie et si la valeur des dépôts de garantie ou des réserves exigées en Italie des entreprises d’assurances pour l’exercice de leur activité a diminué du fait de la perte ou de la dépréciation des titres qui les constituaient, le Gouvernement italien s’engage à accepter, pendant une période de dix-huit mois, ce qu’il reste de ces titres comme satisfaisant entièrement aux prescriptions légales concernant les dépôts et . les réserves. ANNEXE XVI Contrats, prescription, effets de commerce A. Contrats. 1. Sauf exceptions énoncées dans les paragraphes 2 et 3 ci-dessous, tout contrat ayant nécessité pour son exécution des rapports entre des parties qui sont devenues ennemies au sens de la partie D de la présente annexe, sera tenu pour résilié depuis le moment où l’une quelconque des parties est devenue un ennemi. Toutefois, cette résiliation s’entendra sans préjudice des dispositions de l’article 81 du présent Traité; elle ne relèvera pas non plus l’une quelconque des parties au contrat de l’obligation de reverser les sommes perçues à titre d’avances ou d’acomptes et pour lesquelles la partie intéressée n’a pas fourni de contre-partie. 2. Nonobstant les dispositions du paragraphe 1 ci-dessus, les stipulations de tout contrat qui pourront être dissociées et dont l’exécution ne nécessitait pas de rapports entre les parties qui sont devenues ennemies au sens de la partie D de la présente annexe, ne seront pas résiliées et demeureront en vigueur sans préjudice des droits énoncés à l’article 79 du présent Traité. Si les stipulations d’un contrat ne peuvent pas être ainsi dissociées, le contrat sera tenu comme étant intégralement résilié. Les dispositions qui précèdent s’entendent sous réserve de l’application des lois, ordonnances et règlements nationaux édictés par telle ou telle des Puissances 61 Stat. 1366Alliées ou Associées de la juridiction de laquelle relève le contrat ou l’une quelconque des parties au contrat, et sous réserve des stipulations du contrat. 3. Aucune disposition de la partie A de la présente annexe ne sera considérée comme annulant les transactions légalement effectuées conformément à un contrat passé entre ennemis, si ces transactions ont été exécutées avec l’autorisation du Gouvernement d’une des Puissances Alliées ou Associées. 4. Nonobstant les dispositions qui précèdent, les contrats d’assurance et de réassurance feront l’objet de conventions distinctes entre le Gouvernement de la Puissance Alliée ou Associée intéressée et le Gouvernement italien. B. Prescription. 1. Tous les délais de prescription ou de limitation du droit d’engager ou de poursuivre une action judiciaire ou du droit de prendre des mesures conservatoires dans les rapports juridiques intéressant des personnes ou des biens, mettant en cause des ressortissants des Nations Unies et des ressortissants italiens qui, en raison de l’état de guerre, n’ont pas pu engager ou poursuivre une action judiciaire, ou accomplir les formalités nécessaires pour sauvegarder leurs droits, que ces délais aient commencé à courir avant ou après l’ouverture des hostilités, seront considérés comme ayant été suspendus pendant la durée de la guerre sur le territoire italien d’une part, et sur le territoire de celles des Nations Unies qui, conformément au principe de la réciprocité, accordent à l’Italie le bénéfice des dispositions du présent paragraphe, d’autre part. Ces délais commenceront à courir dès la date d’entrée en vigueur du présent Traité. Les dispositions du présent paragraphe s’appliqueront aux délais fixés pour le dépôt des coupons d’intérêts ou de dividendes ou pour le dépôt, en vue du remboursement, des valeurs sorties au tirage ou remboursables pour tout autre motif. 2. Lorsqu’on raison de l’inexécution d’un acte ou de l’omission d’une formalité quelconque pendant la guerre, des mesures d’exécution ont été prises sur le territoire italien au préjudice d’un ressortissant d’une Nation Unie, le Gouvernement italien rétablira les droits lésés. Si le rétablissement de ces droits est impossible ou devait être inéquitable, le Gouvernement italien fera le nécessaire pour que l’intéressé reçoive telle compensation qui en l’occurence paraîtra juste et équitable.61 Stat. 1367 C. Effets de commerce. 1. Dans les relations entre ennemis, aucun effet de commerce souscrit avant la guerre ne sera considéré comme n’étant plus valable pour la seule raison qu’il n’a pas été présenté à l’acceptation ou à l’encaissement dans les délais prescrits, ou que le tireur ou l’endosseur n’a pas été avisé dans ces délais que l’effet en question n’a pas été accepté ou payé, ou qu’il n’a pas été protesté dans lesdits délais, ou qu’une formalité quelconque a été omise pendant la guerre. 2. Si le délai au cours duquel un effet de commerce aurait dû être présenté à l’acceptation ou à l’encaissement, ou dans lequel un avis de non-acceptation ou de non-paiement aurait dû être donné au tireur ou à l’endosseur, ou durant lequel l’effet aurait dû être protesté, est arrivé à expiration pendant la guerre, et si la partie qui aurait dû présenter ou protester l’effet ou aviser du défaut d’acceptation ou du défaut de paiement a omis de le faire pendant la guerre, il sera accordé un délai de trois mois au moins, à partir de la date d’entrée en vigueur du présent Traité, pendant lequel il sera possible de présenter ou de protester ledit effet ou de donner avis de son défaut d’acceptation ou de son défaut de paiement. 3. Si une personne s’est obligée, soit avant, soit pendant la guerre, au paiement d’un effet de commerce, à la suite d’un engagement pris envers elle, par une autre personne devenue ultérieurement ennemie, celle-ci reste tenue, malgré l’ouverture des hostilités, de garantir la première des conséquences de son obligation. D. Dispositions spéciales. 1. Aux fins de la présente annexe, les personnes physiques ou morales seront considérées comme étant devenues ennemies à partir de la date où tout commerce entre elles est devenu illégal, aux termes des lois, ordonnances ou règlements auxquels ces personnes ou le contrat étaient soumis. 2. Etant donné le système juridique des Etats-Unis d’Amérique, les dispositions de cette annexe ne s’appliqueront pas aux relations entre les Etats-Unis d’Amérique et l’Italie.61 Stat. 1368 ANNEXE XVII Tribunaux de prises et Jugements A. Tribunaux de prises. 1. Chacune des Puissances Alliées ou Associées se réserve ledroit d’examiner, conformément à une procédure qu’elle fixera, toutes décisions et ordonnances des Tribunaux de prises italiens rendues à la suite de procès mettant en cause les droits de propriété de ses ressortissants et de recommander au Gouvernement italien de faire procéder à la révision de celles de ces décisions ou ordonnances qui pourraient n’être pas conformes au droit international. 2. Le Gouvernement italien s’engage à communiquer copie de tous les documents et pièces de ces procès, y compris les décisions prises et les ordonnances rendues, à accepter toutes recommandations formulées à la suite de l’examen de ces procès et à donner effet à ces recommandations. B. Jugements. Le Gouvernement italien prendra les mesures nécessaires pour permettre aux ressortissants de l’une quelconque des Nations Unies, à tout moment dans un délai d’un an à compter de la date d’entrée en vigueur du présent Traité, d’intenter devant les autorités italiennes compétentes une action en révision de tout jugement rendu par un tribunal italien entre le 10 juin 1940 et la date d’entrée en vigueur du présent Traité dans tout procès dans lequel le ressortissant d’une des Nations Unies n’a pas été à même d’exposer sa cause d’une manière satisfaisante, soit en qualité de demandeur, soit en qualité de défendeur. Le Gouvernement italien prendra les mesures nécessaires pour que, lorsqu’un ressortissant d’une des Nations Unies a subi un préjudice du fait de tout jugement de cette nature, ce ressortissant soit rétabli dans la situation où il se trouvait avant le prononcé du jugement ou reçoive telle compensation qui pourra, en la circonstance, être juste et équitable. L’expression “ressortissants des Nations Unies” comprend les sociétés ou associations organisées ou constituées conformément à la législation de l’une quelconque des Nations Unies.
