The very first area In which the International Court of Justice is given jurisdiction over disputes is with respect to the interpretation of a treaty. I mention one treaty that would fall within this jurisdictionthe United Nations Charter. Under this charter it would be possibleas Senators pointed out here In this Chamber in 1946for questions to arise which might affect immigration to the United States. with respect to tariffs and duties. with respect to navigation in the Panama Canal. or with respect to any other subject under the sun which the mind of man might conceive which some foreign nation might consider to be a question of interpretation of a treaty. but which this country might regard as a domestic matter. There are in the Senate today 12 Senators who voted for the Connally reservation. I refer to the Senator from New Hampshire . the Senator from New Mexico . the Senator from Rhode Island . the Senator from Arizona . the Senator from Alabama . the Senator from South Carolina . the Senator from Arkansas . the Senator from Washington . the Senator from Montana . the Senator from Wyoming . the Senator from Georgia . and the Senator from Wisconsin .
