Permanent Court of Arbitration
(multilateral government) international court based in the hague, the netherlands; founded in 1889; oldest multilateral court. in some respects, a precursor to the international court of justice (also in the hague–in the same building, the peace palace).
the pca differs from the icj in that only national governments may be respondents in the icj (which operates like a civil court). the pca settles disputes that may arise between a private party (such as rca, in rca vs. china-1935) and a national government, or between national governments. parties submit to the pca when the dispute is a nuisance to both, but relevant laws are uncertain.
the permanent court of arbitration has a three-part organizational structure consisting of an administrative council that oversees its policies and budgets, a panel of independent potential arbitrators known as the members of the court, and its secretariat, known as the international bureau, headed by the secretary-general.
