Article 20 Settlement of Disputes 1 If any dispute arises between the Parties relating to the interpretation or application of this Agreement, the Parties shall in the first place endeavour to settle their dispute by bilateral negotiations. 2 If the Parties fail to reach a settlement by negotiation, the dispute may at the request of either Party be submitted for decision to a tribunal of three arbitrators, one to be named by each Party and the third to be agreed upon by the two arbitrators so chosen, provided that such third arbitrator shall not be a national of either Party. Each of the Parties shall designate an arbitrator within a period of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt by either Party from the other Party of a diplomatic note requesting arbitration of the dispute and the third arbitrator shall be agreed upon within a further period of sixty (60) days. If either of the Parties fails to designate its own arbitrator within the period of sixty (60) days or if the third arbitrator is not agreed upon within the period indicated, the President of the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization may be requested by either Party to appoint an arbitrator or arbitrators. 3 The Parties undertake to comply with any decision given under paragraph 2 of this Article.
