Report hy the Czechoslovak Representative.
Tne dispute which had arisen between the United
Kingdom Government and the Porsian Government with regard to
the Anglo-Persian Cil Company's concession having been re
ferred to the Council by a request cf the United Kingdom
^> ‘-'he Council, at its meeting on February 3rd,
19o5, approved the conclusions of the provisional Arrange
ment reached as a result of the conversations between the
Rapporteur and tne two Parties, According to this Arrange
ment the two parties 6.greed to suspend all proceedings
before the Council until the session of May, 1933, with the
option of prolonging this period if necessary bj^ common
agreement. The two Parties also agreed that the Ccmnany
should immediately enter into negotiations with the Persian
Government, the respective legal points of view being
entirely reserved.
On May 1st, 1933, K.E. M. Forcughi,
reisian Minister oi Foreign A_fic±irs, informed the Secretary-
General that the negotiations undertaken at Teheran with
tne representatives of the Anglo-Per si an Oil Company had resulted
in; - ’ the conclusion of a new concession, which was signed
on April 29th, 1933 {Document C.257.M.133.1933. VII).
Jpon receipt cf this news I got into touch with
the two Parties and icund that as a result of the signature
of the new concession the dispute between the two Govern
ments may be regarded as virtually settled.
The Council being soon about to disperse, I shall
probably be unable to lay definite proposals before it at
the present session.
I therefore beg the Council to give me an
opportunity at its next ordinary session of submitting to
it a report on the complete and final liquidation of the
dispute.
