Excerpt from Remarks on the Arbitral Sentence Pronounced by the President of the Argentine Republic on July 9, 1909, on the Boundary Question Between Bolivia and Peru Our remarks will not be in the least based upon the preconceived idea of criticizing or of favoring the manifestation of certain sentiments that have revealed themselves in regard to that sentence. Far be it from us to forget the respect due in principle to the decisions of the arbitrating authority destined to settle definitively all disputes, nor to perpetuate the discussion of facts which may have given rise to the said decisions. We belong to the class of authors that have devoted and do devote their existence to the consolidation, in international society the preponderating rule of Right, and only in the quality of a modest writer do we propose to submit our observations in the hope of contributing as much as we may be able to do toward an improvement in the exercise of arbitral Justice, increase its growing prestige and enable it to attain more securely the aim which it must have in view. Under these premises our remarks may be regarded as the work of a Jurisconsult expressing his opinion on decisions rendered by high juridic authorities. It cannot be sufficient that Justice be just, it must also appear as solidly based upon the just principles of Law. Thus it must be with arbitral Justice, so that its sentence will not merely terminate litigation, but that it may have indisputable moral value. It is always through critical observations on the sentences of the highest courts that progressive development of justice is attained. It lies beyond all doubt that these high authorities whose sentences are discussed in complete scientific independence, cannot find in that anything that might affect their dignity or diminish their prestige.
