       The States Parties to this Convention,
       recognizing
       that the  magnitude,  complexity,  frequency  and  impact   of
   disasters  are  increasing  at a dramatic rate,  with particularly
   severe consequences in developing countries,
       recalling
       that humanitarian   relief  and  assistance  agencies  require
   reliable,  flexible telecommunication resources to  perform  their
   vital tasks,

       the vital  role  of  broadcasting  in  disseminating  accurate
   disaster information to at-risk populations,
       convinced
       that the  effective,  timely  deployment  of telecommunication
   resources  and  that  rapid,  efficient,  accurate  and   truthful
   information  flows  are essential to reducing loss of life,  human
   suffering and damage to property and  the  environment  caused  by
   disasters,
       concerned
       about the impact of disasters on communication facilities  and
   information flows,

   Plenipotentiary  Conference of the International Telecommunication
   Union (Kyoto,  1994),  urging governments to  take  all  practical
   steps  for facilitating the rapid deployment and the effective use
   of telecommunication equipment for disaster mitigation and  relief
   operations  by reducing and,  where possible,  removing regulatory
   barriers and strengthening cooperation among States,
       further noting
       Resolution 644  of  the  World  Radiocommunication  Conference
   (Geneva,  1997),  urging governments to give their full support to
   the   adoption   of   this   Convention   and   to   its  national
   implementation,
       further noting
       Resolution 19   of  the  World  Telecommunication  Development
   Conference (Valletta,  1998), urging governments to continue their
   examination  of  this Convention with a view to considering giving
   their full support to its adoption,
       further noting

       4. In  order that the negotiation of payment and reimbursement
   agreements   does   not   unduly   delay    the    provision    of
   telecommunication  assistance,  the  operational coordinator shall
   develop,  in consultation with the States Parties, a model payment
   and  reimbursement agreement that may provide a foundation for the
   negotiation of payment and reimbursement  obligations  under  this
   Article.

                           Dispute Settlement
   
       1. In the event of a dispute between States Parties concerning
   the interpretation or application of this Convention,  the  States
   Parties to the dispute shall consult each other for the purpose of
   settling the dispute.  Such consultation shall begin promptly upon
   the  written declaration,  delivered by one State Party to another
   State Party,  of the existence of a dispute under this Convention.
   The State Party making such a written declaration of the existence
   of a dispute shall promptly deliver a copy of such declaration  to
   the depositary.
       2. If a dispute  between  States  Parties  cannot  be  settled
   within  six  (6)  months  of  the  date of delivery of the written
   declaration to a State Party to the dispute, the States Parties to
   the  dispute may request any other State Party,  State,  non-State
   entity or intergovernmental organization to use its  good  offices
   to facilitate settlement of the dispute.
       3. If neither State Party seeks the good  offices  of  another
   State   Party,   State,   non-State  entity  or  intergovernmental
   organization,  or  if  the  exercise  of  good  offices  fails  to
   facilitate  a  settlement  of the dispute within six (6) months of
   the request for such good offices being made,  then  either  State
   Party to the dispute may:
       a) request  that  the  dispute   be   submitted   to   binding
   arbitration; or
       b) submit the dispute to the International  Court  of  Justice
   for  decision,  provided  that  both States Parties to the dispute
   have,  at the time of  signing,  ratifying  or  acceding  to  this
   Convention,  or at any time thereafter,  accepted the jurisdiction
   of the International Court of Justice in respect of such disputes.
       4. In  the  event  that  the  respective States Parties to the
   dispute  request  that  the  dispute  be  submitted   to   binding
   arbitration  and  submit the dispute to the International Court of
   Justice for decision, the submission to the International Court of
   Justice shall have priority.
       5. In the case of a dispute between a State  Party  requesting
   telecommunication    assistance   and   a  non-State   entity   or
   intergovernmental organization headquartered or domiciled  outside
   of  the  territory of that State Party concerning the provision of
   telecommunication assistance under Article 4,  the  claim  of  the
   non-State entity or intergovernmental organization may be espoused
   directly by the State Party  in  which  the  non-State  entity  or
   intergovernmental  organization is headquartered or domiciled as a
   State-to-State  claim  under  this  Article,  provided  that  such
   espousal  is not inconsistent with any other agreement between the
   State  Party  and  the  non-State  entity   or   intergovernmental
   organization involved in the dispute.
       6. When signing,  ratifying,  accepting, approving or acceding
   to this Convention,  a State may declare that it does not consider
   itself  bound  by  either  or  both  of  the  dispute   settlement
   procedures  provided  for  in paragraph 3 above.  The other States
   Parties  shall  not  be  bound  by  a dispute settlement procedure
   provided  for  in  paragraph  3 with  respect to a State Party for
   which such a declaration is in force.
