Instead of a permanent court, the Convention of 1899 gave but the phantom of a court, an impalpable specter, or to be more precise yet, it gave us a recorder with a list. […] What, may I ask, has resulted in practice from that beautiful creation of 1899?
- Tobias Asser
PCA as Failure
![Page 28: Arbitration Academy State-to-State Arbitration 10 July 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814f49550346895dbceeaf/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The Court should be able to assure the continuity of jurisprudence. The present Court has not gone far in the direction of establishing and developing international law. Each case is isolated, lacking both continuity and connection with the other.
A permanent tribunal, deciding cases in relation with each other, would evidently be a means of unifying the law.
-Joseph Choate 1907
PCA as Failure
![Page 29: Arbitration Academy State-to-State Arbitration 10 July 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814f49550346895dbceeaf/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
States may be tempted to consider replacing the system of ad hoc tribunals with a standing one that is perhaps capable of producing more consistent and coherent results.
