    The document summarizes a 1908 arbitration convention between the United States and Denmark. The convention establishes that legal or treaty disputes between the two countries, if unable to be resolved diplomatically, would be referred to arbitration at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague. However, disputes cannot involve the vital interests, independence, or honor of either country or concern third parties. Each case requires a special agreement defining the issues and arbitration process. The convention is initially in effect for five years from the exchange of ratifications. It was ratified by both countries and proclaimed in March 1909.
