‎Einer von 9 Dokumentenbänden für das Genfer Schiedsgericht über finanzielle Ansprüche Englands durch die amerikanischen Beschlagnahmungen während des Nordamerikanischen Bürgerkrieges, den sogenannten "Alabama Claims". - "Am 15.9.1872 verurteilte ein in Genf tagendes Schiedsgericht Grossbritannien zur Zahlung einer hohen Entschädigung an die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika, weil es im Sezessionskrieg seinen internat. Verpflichtungen zur Einhaltung strikter Neutralität nicht nachgekommen war. Gemäss Urteil beging die brit. Regierung eine schuldhafte Nachlässigkeit, indem sie zuliess, dass von ihrem Territorium aus zwanzig bewaffnete Schiffe -- darunter die Korvette "Alabama" -- an die aufständ. Südstaatler geliefert wurden. Der Genfer oder (geläufiger) Alabama-Schiedsspruch verdankt seine Bekanntheit einerseits seiner Bedeutung als Beispiel einer friedl. Konfliktregelung zwischen zwei Grossmächten. Zum andern stand bei dieser Affäre, die in den Vereinigten Staaten nach Beendigung des Bürgerkriegs hohe emotionale Wellen warf, für beide Länder polit., rechtl. und hinsichtl. des nationalen Prestiges sehr viel auf dem Spiel. Aus Schweizer Sicht ist erwähnenswert, dass der Schweizer Schiedsrichter, alt Bundesrat Jakob Stämpfli, im Schiedsverfahren eine entscheidende Rolle spielte und dass die Schlichtung dieses heiklen Streitfalls der Entwicklung Genfs zu einem internat. Forum förderl. war."

One of 9 volumes of documents for the Geneva Arbitration Court on the financial claims of England by the American seizures during the North American Civil War the so-called "Alabama Claims". - On 15.9.1872, an arbitral tribunal meeting in Geneva ordered Great Britain to pay high compensation to the United States of America because it had failed to meet its international obligations during the war of secession. It had failed to comply with its obligations to maintain strict neutrality. According to the judgement, the British government committed culpable negligence by allowing twenty armed ships -- including the "Alabama" corvette -- to rebel from its territory. Southerners were delivered. The Geneva or (common) Alabama arbitral award owes its fame on the one hand to its importance as an example of a peaceful, peaceful and peaceful world. Settlement of conflicts between two major powers. On the other hand, in this affair, which in the United States, after the end of the civil war, caused high emotional waves, a great deal was at stake for both countries politically, legally and in terms of national prestige. From a Swiss perspective, it is worth noting that the Swiss arbitrator, former Federal Councillor Jakob Stämpfli, played a decisive role in the arbitration process and that the arbitration of this delicate dispute has helped Geneva's development into an international centre of excellence. Forum." (HLS). The present volume, lavishly bound, unites part of the correspondence between some of the ships and the English admiralty. - Title with deleted stamp of Switzerland.
