- ↑ The Bolivian reservation reads, in translation, as follows:
"It seems to me [Mr. Pinilla], therefore, that the acceptance of the proposition before us will but mean the legitimation by the Peace Conference of a certain class of wars, or at least interventions based on disputes which relate neither to the honor nor vital interests of the creditor States.
"In consequence of these forceful reasons, the delegation of Bolivia regrets not to give its entire assent to the proposition under discussion."
- ↑ The Dominican reservation reads, in translation, as follows:
"The delegation of the Dominican Republic confirms its favorable vote on the proposal of the delegation of the United States relative to the limitation of the employment of force for the recovery of contract debts; but it renews its reservation as to the condition contained in this part of the clause: 'or after accepting the offer, prevents any compromis from being agreed on,' as its interpretation might lead to excessive consequences which would be the more regrettable as they are provided for and avoided in the plan of Article 53 of the new Convention for the pacific settlement of international disputes" (TS 536, ante, p. 577).
