These accords, brokered in 1981 between the United States and Iran, formally ended the Iran Hostage Crisis, a protracted diplomatic standoff following the 1979 Iranian Revolution, during which 52 American diplomats and citizens were held hostage for 444 days. The agreement not only secured the hostages' release but also created a novel mechanism in international dispute resolution: the Iran-United States Claims Tribunal, based in The Hague. The book compiles reflections and legal analyses by international law experts, arbitrators, and diplomats who assess the historical, political, and legal dimensions of the crisis and its resolution. The conflict was both political and legal in nature, arising from revolutionary regime change, the seizure of foreign nationals and assets, and a breakdown of diplomatic norms. Its resolution required an unprecedented arbitration arrangement between states lacking formal relations. The conference proceedings trace how the Tribunal handled thousands of claims brought by U.S. nationals and both governments, involving expropriation, contract breaches, and financial disputes. Contributors examine the Tribunal's procedural innovations, its mixed success in managing politically sensitive cases, and its lasting influence on the practice of international arbitration. A key conclusion drawn from the conference, and emphasized throughout the volume, is that the Algiers Accords and the Tribunal marked a turning point in the development of the modern international legal order. They demonstrated that arbitration could serve as a viable, neutral forum for resolving interstate and investor-state disputes even in the absence of diplomatic ties. The Tribunal's legacy helped shape contemporary norms surrounding investor protection, treaty-based claims, and state accountability under international law. The proceedings continue to be studied as a landmark in international dispute resolution, both for private claimants and sovereign actors.

Colour-illustrated softcovers, bound into simulated black calf, gilt lettering stamped on front cover, rounded corners (minor shelfwear, rubbing), still VG copies of both, from the library of Andrew Edward MacMeekin (1884-1949), who was the purchasing manager for Standard Oil of Indiana at the main offices in Chicago, IL from before World War I to his death, w/ his ownership stamp on front cover of the Stanolind vol. First editions of these very scarce Standard Oil Company (Indiana) sales publications, by one of the independent oil companies to emerge after the breakup of Standard Oil in 1911. Standard Oil (Indiana) pioneered the "cracking" process for refining crude oil under pressure, resulting in far higher yields of gasoline, and the many byproducts, and by the mid-1920s was the third largest oil refiner in the U.S. behind Standard Oil New Jersey and Standard Oil California. This very scarce salesman's advertising manual was created for distribution around the time that Standard Indiana had merged with the American Oil Co. (Amoco), and was looking to streamline both their purchasing, and marketing pitches to service stations, wholesalers, and jobbers. The manual continually extolls the product diversity and reach of the Standard Indiana Company, with Sinclair, Dixie, Pan-American Petroleum, and Midwest Refining as subsidiaries, the extensive fleet of oil tankers, railroad tank cars, and chain of service stations. The splendid sample catalogues encompass a range of styles and products including Red Crown gasoline, featuring an Art Deco cover of a Standard Oil service station; the high octane Red crown Gasoline; Neolite kerosene for more efficiently and economically raising poultry; competing motor oils of Iso-Vis and Polarine (designed for Ford engines); as well as Mica Axle Grease used to coat hog scratching poles; Merusol Petrolatum (White petrolatum) used as a non-stick coating for bakeries and with a number of "medical" applications as well, or the KIP insecticide used for everything from ants and flies to bed bugs and mosquitoes. Also included are customer sales letters, sample thank you letters, sales goals, tips, and more. The second volume focuses on an extended article by MacMeekin on the Standard Indiana purchasing department which at the end of the 1920s was spending over $ 50 million a year on 14,000 different items, ranging from rare Asian flowers to wax from the head of whales, pins by the ton, locomotives, and everything else to fuel the massive oil company.
