Effect of Unlawful or Censurable Conduct of Claimant

Abstract

The Commission pronounced itself upon the effect of censurable conduct on the part of the claimant in three different kinds of situations:

• 1. the illegal government act complained of was entirely or partly caused or preceded by illegal conduct on the part of the claimant ;

• 2. the claim was opposed on the defence that the claimant fled from justice in the respondent State;

• 3. the claimant gave an untrue or exaggerated account of the facts.
