Publisher's Synopsis
This volume contains the complete argument presented by William A. Pile, Counsel for the Republic of Venezuela, before the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives in 1878. The subject of the argument concerns the awards of the Mixed Commission established under the Convention of April 25, 1866, between the United States and Venezuela. Pile's presentation spans multiple sessions held on February 28, March 1, 4, and 11, 1878, offering a detailed examination of the issues at stake. This historical record provides valuable insights into the complexities of international arbitration and the diplomatic relations between the United States and Venezuela during the late 19th century. It is an important resource for legal scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the history of international law and Latin American relations.
