CEVAP:

Protocol 23 signed at the Paris Congress provided a reference to a third-party mediation for the resolution of international disputes, although it did not impose mandatory measures on states. (Mowat, 1922:112). Article 15 of the Final Act of the Paris Congress was a remarkable improvement in international institutionalization since it established an international commission for the supervision of the Danube River. The establishment of the International Danube Commission for the regulation of free navigation in the river was the first initiative in forming an international body for the governance of a particular international issue.
