New PCA Member State: Kosovo

At its meeting on 13 June 2016, the PCA Administrative Council considered its 4 January 2016 decision to keep the adherence of Kosovo to the Hague Convention for the Pacific Settlement of International Disputes of 1907 under review. By a vote of 41 in favour, 24 against, and 13 abstentions, the Council decided to withdraw in its entirety its decision of 4 January 2016. As a result, Kosovo is considered to have become a Member State of the PCA on 5 January 2016. This brings the total number of PCA Member States to 121.
