settlement procedure. The conclusion to be drawn is that the parties to a dispute must solve their differences by such means as they may choose except that they must try to find a solution on peaceful lines. In addition, institutionalised procedures may be available to the parties to a dispute or if they are members of a particular organisation they may be obliged to use particular settlement procedures. Finally, States may undertake by treaty or through submission to a political or judicial international body to respect the decision of a recognised authority.

The outlawry of war.... Although the many attempts which have been made in the past and are still being made at present to prevent war in the future do not strictly belong to the subject of the laws of war, I can hardly pass them by in complete silence.(...) Arbitration, judicial settlement and other procedures may help to substitute the peaceful solution of disputes for a resort to war. A world-wide international organization may contain the outbreak of hostilities or arrest them. Aggressive nations have been demilitarized. Regional demilitarization, agreed upon by multilateral treaties, can serve as an obstacle to the use of military force.

La question de la mise de la guerre hors la loi, la guerre étant déclarée illégale, a pris, dans ces dernières années, une importance croissante.

Armistices may be... general when all armed operations are suspended [or they may be] partial or local... One modern trend in regard to general armistices, however, is that they represent no mere temporary halting of hostilities, but a kind of de facto termination of war, which is confirmed by the final treaty of peace. In the case of a non-war armed conflict, as, for example, the Korean conflict, 1950-1953, the armistice puts an end to the conflict, and it may also be that a final peaceful settlement is contemplated by the contending parties.
