Abstract
The purported nationalization of the Universal Company of the Suez Maritime Canal by the Egyptian Decree of July 26, 1956, refreshed the interest of the international community in the long-lingering dispute over restrictions imposed by Egypt on the passage of cargoes bound for Israeli ports and the prohibition of the passage of Israeli ships through the Suez Canal. At the 22-Power London Conference, August 16–23, 1956, representatives of several governments referred to these restrictions1 and it was pointed out that Egypt is in defiance, really, of a decision by the Security Council of the United Nations, taken in 1951 ... which was reaffirmed again ... in 1953, that under the terms of the Treaty of 1888 the Israeli shipping was entitled to go through and that Egypt was not entitled to bar it as it was doing.2
