to examine, in accordance with a procedure to be agreed upon with
the Roumanian Governmient, all judcgments and orders of Prize Courts
affecting the property rights of its nationals. If an Allied or Associ-
ated Power considers that a judgment or order of a Roumanian Prize
Court is contrary to international law, and if Roumanian constitu-
tional law does not allow or only allows to a limited extent that the
consequences of such judgment or order should be nullified by admin-
istrative action, the said Allied or Associated Power and the Rou-
manian Government should agree mutually to fix the amount of
pecuniary compensation payable by Roumania. In case of differences
of opinion on any of the above points, the question should be referred
for decision to an arbitrator, designated by mutual agreement by the
parties concerned. If within a period of . . . the said parties fail
to agree upon the appointment of an arbitrator, the latter shall be
designated by....
B. Judgments.
  The Roumanian Governmnelnt wishes to call attention to the obliga-
tion which would be imposed to revise all judgments rendered by its
own Courts since 22nd June 1941 in connection with any lawsuit in
which a national of any of the United Nations should not have had
the opportunity of stating his case adequately. Such a procedure.
which is tantamount to imposing by authority a review of judgments
which have acquired the force of res yudicata, is not in accordance with
the general principles of lax [lex].
  The Roumanian Government therefore prefers the proposal sub-
mitted by the United States Delegation, and supported by that of the
U.S.S.R., but specifies, that the obligation to review judgments ren-
dered against a national of one of the United Nations shall only apply
to judgments which have been rendered in a court before which the
national in question was unable to defend his case.
