HOST STATE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PORTUGUESE REPUBLIC AND THE PERMANENT COURT OF ARBITRATION
Preamble
The Portuguese Republic and the Permanent Court of Arbitration, considering that:
International arbitration is a preferred means for the peaceful resolution of international disputes;
The Permanent Court of Arbitration was established by the 1899 Convention for the Pacific Settlement of International Disputes (the "1899 Convention") at the first Hague Peace Conference, which was convened "with the object of seeking the most objective means of ensuring to all peoples the benefits of a real and lasting peace";
The 1899 Convention was revised by the 1907 Convention for the Pacific Settlement of International Disputes (the "1907 Convention"), adopted at the second Hague Peace Conference;
In the 1899 and 1907 Conventions, the Contracting Parties undertook to maintain the Permanent Court of Arbitration accessible at all times, as a global institution for the settlement of international disputes through third-party intervention;
To further the objectives of the 1899 and 1907 Conventions, it is material that Member States in all regions of the world enjoy access to international dispute resolution services provided by the Permanent Court of Arbitration;
The Portuguese Republic is a Contracting Party to both the 1899 and the 1907 Conventions, and the Secretary-General of the Permanent Court of Arbitration has invited the Portuguese Republic to become a host State for arbitration, mediation, conciliation, and fact-finding commissions of inquiry administered by the Permanent Court of Arbitration; and
The Portuguese Republic has accepted the invitation of the Secretary-General of the Permanent Court of Arbitration;
