subject to all reservations and without prejudice, As to admissibility: to declare that the claim of the Principality of Liechtenstein is inadmissible
(i) by reason of the absence of any prior diplomatic negotiations;
(ii) because the Principality of Liechtenstein has failed to prove that M. Nottebohm, for whose protection it is acting, properly acquired Liechtenstein nationality in accordance with the law of the Principality;
because, even if such proof were provided, the legal provisions which would have been applied cannot be regarded as in conformity with international law;
and because M. Nottebohm appears in any event not to have lost, or not validly to have lost, his German nationality;
(iii)on the ground of M. Nottebohm's failure to exhaust local remedies;
In the alternative, on the Merits:
to hold that neither in the legislative measures of Guatemala applied in the case of M. Nottebohm, nor in the administrative or judicial measures taken with regard to him in pursuance of the said laws, there has been proved any fault such as to involve the responsibility of the Respondent State to the Principality of Liechtenstein;
Consequently, to dismiss the claim of the Principality of Liechtenstein;
In the further alternative, as to the question of the amount claimed:
To hold that there is no case for damages, except in relation to the property personally owned by Friedrich Nottebohm, and excluding the shares which he possessed in the firm of Nottebohm Hermanos, and further to declare that the Government of Guatemala shall be discharged from all responsibility on its acting in accordance with the provisions of Decree No. 900, which contains the law relating to Agrarian reform.
