Separate opinion of Judge Oda

37 AERIAL INCIDENT (SEP. OP. ODA)

1 take issue with the reasoning adopted by the Court in ruling that

Article 17 of the General Act of 1928 cannot constitute a basis of
the Court's jurisdiction.
Itis pertinent in this respect to take a brief look at how and in what
circumstances the General Act, which Pakistan cites as grounds for the
Court's jurisdiction, was drafted in 1928and the related issue of the man-
ner in which the concept of the compulsory jurisdiction of the Permanent

Court has developed.
