In the case of damage caused or arising as stated in paragraph 1 to other property owned by a Contracting Party and located in its territory, the issue of the liability of any other Contracting Party shall be determined and the amount of damage shall be assessed, unless the Contracting Parties concerned agree otherwise, by a sole arbitrator selected in accordance with sub-paragraph b. of this paragraph. The arbitrator shall also decide any counter-claims arising out of the same incident. b. The arbitrator referred to in sub-paragraph a. above shall be selected by agreement between the Contracting Parties concerned from amongst the nationals of the receiving State who hold or have held high judicial office.

Claims (other than contractual claims and those to which paragraphs 6 or 7 of this Article apply) arising out of acts or omissions of members of a force or civilian component done in the performance of official duty, or out of any other act, omission or occurrence for which a force or civilian component is legally responsible, and causing damage in the territory of the receiving State to third parties, other than any of the Contracting Parties, shall be dealt with by the receiving State in accordance with the following provisions: a. Claims shall be filed, considered and settled or adjudicated in accordance with the laws and regulations of the receiving State with respect to claims arising from the activities of its own armed forces. b. The receiving State may settle any such claims, and payment of the amount agreed upon or determined by adjudication shall be made by the receiving State in its currency. c. Such payment, whether made pursuant to a settlement or to adjudication of the case by a competent tribunal of the receiving State, or the final adjudication by such a tribunal denying payment, shall be binding and conclusive upon the Contracting Parties. d. Every claim paid by the receiving State shall be communicated to the sending States concerned together with full particulars and a proposed distribution in conformity with sub-paragraphs e. (i), (ii) and (iii) below. In default of a reply within two months, the proposed distribution shall be regarded as accepted. e. The cost incurred in satisfying claims pursuant to the preceding sub-paragraphs and para. 2 of this Article shall be distributed between the Contracting Parties, as follows: (i) Where one sending State alone is responsible, the amount awarded or adjudged shall be distributed in the proportion of 25 per cent. chargeable to the receiving State and 75 per cent. chargeable to the sending State. (ii) Where more than one State is responsible for the damage, the amount awarded or adjudged shall be distributed equally among them: however, if the receiving State is not one of the States responsible, its contribution shall be half that of each of the sending States. (iii) Where the damage was caused by the armed services of the Contracting Parties and it is not possible to attribute it specifically to one or more of those armed services, the amount awarded or adjudged shall be distributed equally among the Contracting Parties concerned: however, if the receiving State is not one of the States by whose armed services the damage was caused, its contribution shall be half that of each of the sending States concerned. (iv) Every half-year, a statement of the sums paid by the receiving State in the course of the half-yearly period in respect of every case regarding which the proposed distribution on a percentage basis has been accepted, shall be sent to the sending States concerned, together with a request for reimbursement. Such reimbursement shall be made within the shortest possible time, in the currency of the receiving State. f. In cases where the application of the provisions of sub-paragraphs b. and e. of this paragraph would cause a Contracting Party serious hardship, it may request the North Atlantic Council to arrange a settlement of a different nature. g. A member of a force or civilian component shall not be subject to any proceedings for the enforcement of any judgment given against him in the receiving State in a matter arising from the performance of his official duties. h.

The report shall be delivered to the authorities of the sending State, who shall then decide without delay whether they will offer an ex gratia payment, and if so, of what amount. c. If an offer of ex gratia payment is made, and accepted by the claimant in full satisfaction of his claim, the authorities of the sending State shall make the payment themselves and inform the authorities of the receiving State of their decision and of the sum paid. d. Nothing in this paragraph shall affect the jurisdiction of the courts of the receiving State to entertain an action against a member of a force or of a civilian component unless and until there has been payment in full satisfaction of the claim. 7. Claims arising out of the unauthorized use of any vehicle of the armed services of a sending State shall be dealt with in accordance with paragraph 6 of this Article, except in so far as the force or civilian component is legally responsible. 8. If a dispute arises as to whether a tortious act or omission of a member of a force or civilian component was done in the performance of official duty or as to whether the use of any vehicle of the armed services of a sending State was unauthorized, the question shall be submitted to an arbitrator appointed in accordance with paragraph 2 b. of this Article, whose decision on this point shall be final and conclusive. 9. The sending State shall not claim immunity from the jurisdiction of the courts of the receiving State for members of a force or civilian component in respect of the civil jurisdiction of the courts of the receiving State except to the extent provided in paragraph 5 g. of this Article. 10.

Article IX 1. Members of a force or of a civilian component and their dependents may purchase locally goods necessary for their own consumption, and such services as they need, under the same conditions as the nationals of the receiving State. 2. Goods which are required from local sources for the subsistence of a force or civilian component shall normally be purchased through the authorities which purchase such goods for the armed services of the receiving State. In order to avoid such purchases having any adverse effect on the economy of the receiving State, the competent authorities of that State shall indicate, when necessary, any articles the purchase of which should be restricted or forbidden. 3. Subject to agreements already in force or which may hereafter be made between the authorized representatives of the sending and receiving States, the authorities of the receiving State shall assume sole responsibility for making suitable arrangements to make available to a force or a civilian component the buildings and grounds which it requires, as well as facilities and services connected therewith. These agreements and arrangements shall be, as far as possible, in accordance with the regulations governing the accommodation and billeting of similar personnel of the receiving State. In the absence of a specific contract to the contrary, the laws of the receiving State shall determine the rights and obligations arising out of the occupation or use of the buildings, grounds, facilities or services. 4. Local civilian labour requirements of a force or civilian component shall be satisfied in the same way as the comparable requirements of the receiving State and with the assistance of the authorities of the receiving State through the employment exchanges. The conditions of employment and work, in particular wages, supplementary payments and conditions for the protection of workers, shall be those laid down by the legislation of the receiving State. Such civilian workers employed by a force or civilian component shall not be regarded for any purpose as being members of that force or civilian component. 5. When a force or a civilian component has at the place where it is stationed inadequate medical or dental facilities, its members and their dependents may receive medical and dental care, including hospitalization, under the same conditions as comparable personnel of the receiving State. 6.

Neither a force, nor a civilian component, nor the members thereof, nor their dependents, shall by reason of this Article enjoy any exemption from taxes or duties relating to purchases and services chargeable under the fiscal regulations of the receiving State. Article X 1. Where the legal incidence of any form of taxation in the receiving State depends upon residence or domicile, periods during which a member of a force or civilian component is in the territory of that State by reason solely of his being a member of such force or civilian component shall not be considered as periods of residence therein, or as creating a change of residence or domicile, for the purposes of such taxation. Members of a force or civilian component shall be exempt from taxation in the receiving State on the salary and emoluments paid to them as such members by the sending State or on any tangible movable property the presence of which in the receiving State is due solely to their temporary presence there. 2. Nothing in this Article shall prevent taxation of a member of a force or civilian component with respect to any profitable enterprise, other than his employment as such member, in which he may engage in the receiving State, and, except as regards his salary and emoluments and the tangible movable property referred to in paragraph 1, nothing in this Article shall prevent taxation to which, even if regarded as having his residence or domicile outside the territory of the receiving State, such a member is liable under the law of that State. 3. Nothing in this Article shall apply to ‘duty’ as defined in paragraph 12 of Article XI. 4. For the purposes of this Article the term ‘member of a force’ shall not include any person who is a national of the receiving State. Article XI 1. Save as provided expressly to the contrary in this Agreement, members of a force and of a civilian component as well as their dependents shall be subject to the laws and regulations administered by the customs authorities of the receiving State. In particular the customs authorities of the receiving State shall have the right, under the general conditions laid down by the laws and regulations of the receiving State, to search members of a force or civilian component and their dependents and to examine their luggage and vehicles, and to seize articles pursuant to such laws and regulations. 2. a. The temporary importation and the re-exportation of service vehicles of a force or civilian component under their own power shall be authorized free of duty on presentation of a triptyque in the form shown in the Appendix to this Agreement. b. The temporary importation of such vehicles not under their own power shall be governed by paragraph 4 of this Article and the re-exportation thereof by paragraph 8. c. Service vehicles of a force or civilian component shall be exempt from any tax payable in respect of the use of vehicles on the roads. 3. Official documents under official seal shall not be subject to customs inspection. Couriers, whatever their status, carrying these documents must be in possession of an individual movement order, issued in accordance with paragraph 2 b. of Article III. This movement order shall show the number of despatches carried and certify that they contain only official documents. 4. A force may import free of duty the equipment for the force and reasonable quantities of provisions, supplies and other goods for the exclusive use of the force and, in cases where such use is permitted by the receiving State, its civilian component and dependents. This duty-free importation shall be subject to the deposit, at the customs office for the place of entry, together with such customs documents as shall be agreed, of a certificate in a form agreed between the receiving State and the sending State signed by a person authorized by the sending State for that purpose. The designation of the person authorized to sign the certificates as well as specimens of the signatures and stamps to be used shall be sent to the customs administration of the receiving State. 5. A member of a force or civilian component may at the time of his first arrival to take up service in the receiving State or at the time of the first arrival of any dependent to join him, import his personal effects and furniture free of duty for the term of such service. 6. Members of a force or civilian component may import temporarily free of duty their private motor vehicles for the personal use of themselves and their dependents. There is no obligation under this Article to grant exemption from taxes payable in respect of the use of roads by private vehicles. 7. Imports made by the authorities of a force other than for the exclusive use of that force and its civilian component, and imports, other than those dealt with in paragraphs 5 and 6 of this Article, effected by members of a force or civilian component are not, by reason of this Article, entitled to any exemption from duty or other conditions. 8. Goods which have been imported duty-free under paragraphs 2 b., 4, 5 or 6 above: a. may be re-exported freely, provided that, in the case of goods imported under paragraph 4. a certificate, issued in accordance with that paragraph, is presented to the customs office: the customs authorities, however, may verify that goods re-exported are as described in the certificate, if any, and have in fact been imported under the conditions of paragraphs 2 b., 4, 5 or 6 as the case may be; b. shall not normally be disposed of in the receiving State by way of either sale or gift: however, in particular cases such disposal may be authorized on conditions imposed by the authorities concerned of the receiving State (for instance, on payment of duty and tax and compliance with the requirements of the controls of trade and exchange). 9. Goods purchased in the receiving State shall be exported therefrom only in accordance with the regulations in force in the receiving State. 10. Special arrangements for crossing frontiers shall be granted by the customs authorities to regularly constituted units or formations, provided that the customs authorities concerned have been duly notified in advance. 11. Special arrangements shall be made by the receiving State so that fuel, oil and lubricants for use in service vehicles, aircraft and vessels of a force or civilian component, may be delivered free of all duties and taxes. 12. In paragraphs 1–10 of this Article: ‘duty’ means customs duties and all other duties and taxes payable on importation or exportation, as the case may be, except dues and taxes which are no more than charges for services rendered; ‘importation’ includes withdrawal from customs warehouses or continuous customs custody, provided that the goods concerned have not been grown, produced or manufactured in the receiving State. 13. The provisions of this Article shall apply to the goods concerned not only when they are imported into or exported from the receiving State but also when they are in transit through the territory of a Contracting Party, and for this purpose the expression ‘receiving State’ in this Article shall be regarded as including any Contracting Party through whose territory the goods are passing in transit. Article XII 1. The customs or fiscal authorities of the receiving State may, as a condition of the grant of any customs or fiscal exemption or concession provided for in this Agreement, require such conditions to be observed as they may deem necessary to prevent abuse. 2. These authorities may refuse any exemption provided for by this Agreement in respect of the importation into the receiving State of articles grown, produced or manufactured in that State which have been exported therefrom without payment of, or upon repayment of, taxes or duties which would have been chargeable but for such exportation. Goods removed from a customs warehouse shall be deemed to be imported if they were regarded as having been exported by reason of being deposited in the warehouse. Article XIII 1. In order to prevent offences against customs and fiscal laws regulations, the authorities of the receiving and of the sending States shall assist each other in the conduct of enquiries and the collection of evidence. 2. The authorities of a force shall render all assistance within their power to ensure that articles liable to seizure by, or on behalf of, the customs or fiscal authorities of the receiving State are handed to those authorities. 3. The authorities of a force shall render all assistance within their power to ensure the payment of duties, taxes and penalties payable by members of the force or civilian component or their dependents. 4. Service vehicles and articles belonging to a force or to its civilian component, and not to a member of such force or civilian component, seized by the authorities of the receiving State in connection with an offence against its customs or fiscal laws or regulations shall be handed over to the appropriate authorities of the force concerned. Article XIV 1. A force, a civilian component and the members thereof, as well as their dependents, shall remain subject to the foreign exchange regulations of the sending State and shall also be subject to the regulations of the receiving State. 2.

Šis līgums attiecas uz Līgumslēdzēju Pušu politisko apakšveidojumu varas iestādēm to teritorijās, uz kurām attiecas šīs Līgums, vai tas ir attiecināts saskaņā ar XX pantu, kā tas attiecas uz Līgumslēdzēju Pušu centrālajām varas iestādēm, ar noteikumu, ka politisko apakšveidojumu īpašums netiek uzskatīts par Līgumslēdzējas Puses īpašumu VIII panta nozīmē. II pants Spēku un to civilās sastāvdaļas, un to dalībnieku, kā arī to apgādājamo pienākums ir ievērot uzņēmējas valsts likumus un atturēties no jebkāda veida darbībām, kas nav savienojamas ar šī līguma mērķiem, it sevišķi, atturēties no ikvienas politiska rakstura darbības šajā valstī. Tas ir arī sūtītājas valsts uzdevums veikt nepieciešamos pasākumus šādam mērķim. III pants 1. Saskaņā ar šī panta 2.punkta noteikumiem un uzņēmējas valsts noteikto spēku vai to dalībnieku iebraukšanas vai izbraukšanas kārtību, šādi dalībnieki tiek atbrīvoti no pasu un vīzu noteikumiem un imigrācijas pārbaudes, tiem iebraucot vai atstājot uzņēmējas valsts teritoriju. Tie tiek arī atbrīvoti no uzņēmējas valsts noteikumiem attiecībā uz ārvalstnieku reģistrāciju un kontroli, bet tiem netiek piešķirtas tiesības uz pastāvīgu dzīvošanu vai dzīvesvietu uzņēmējas valsts teritorijā. 2.

Ja sūtītājas valsts spēku vai civilās sastāvdaļas dalībnieks izstājies no sūtītājas valsts dienesta un netiek repatriēts, sūtītājas valsts varas iestādes nekavējoties informē uzņēmējas valsts varas iestādes, sniedzot informāciju, kas nepieciešama. Sūtītājas valsts varas iestādes tāpat informē uzņēmējas valsts varas iestādes par ikvienu dalībnieku, kura prombūtne ir ilgāka par divdesmit vienu dienu. 5. Ja uzņēmēja valsts pieprasījusi no tās teritorijas izvest kādu spēku vai civilās sastāvdaļas dalībnieku vai arī izsniegusi izraidīšanas pavēli attiecībā uz spēku vai civilās sastāvdaļas bijušo dalībnieku, vai dalībnieka vai bijušā dalībnieka apgādājamo, sūtītājas valsts varas iestāžu pienākums ir uzņemt attiecīgo personu atpakaļ savā teritorijā vai kādā citā veidā panākt šīs personas izvietošanu ārpus uzņēmējas valsts. Šis punkts attiecas tikai uz personām, kas nepieder uzņēmējai valstij un iebraukuši uzņēmējā valstī kā spēku vai civilās sastāvdaļas dalībnieki, vai ar mērķi par tādiem kļūt, un uz šādu personu apgādājamiem. IV pants Uzņēmēja valsts vai nu a. Bez pārbaudes vai samaksas atzīst par derīgām spēku vai civilās sastāvdaļas dalībnieku autovadītāju apliecības vai atļaujas, vai militārās autovadītāju apliecības, ko izsniegusi sūtītāja valsts vai politisks apakšveidojums; vai arī b. Ikvienam spēku vai civilās sastāvdaļas dalībniekam, kam ir autovadītāja apliecība vai atļauja, vai arī militāra autovadītāja apliecība, ko izsniegusi sūtītāja valsts vai tās politisks apakšveidojums, izsniedz savas autovadītāju apliecības vai atļaujas ar noteikumu, ka pārbaude netiek prasīta. V pants 1. Spēku dalībnieki parasti valkā formas tērpu. Izņemot, ja tieši pretēji atrunāts jebkurā vienošanā starp sūtītājas un uzņēmējas valsts varas iestādēm, civilā apģērba valkāšana ir uz tādiem pašiem noteikumiem kā uzņēmējas valsts spēku dalībniekiem. Regulārās apakšvienības vai spēku formējumi ir tērpti formas tērpos, kad tie šķērso robežu. 2. Uz spēku vai civilās sastāvdaļas dienesta pārvietošanās līdzekļiem papildus to reģistrācijas numuram ir jābūt atšķirības zīmei, kas norāda to valstisko piederību. VI pants Spēku dalībnieku valdījumā var atrasties un tiem atļauts nēsāt ieročus, ar noteikumu, ka tie ir pilnvaroti to darīt saskaņā ar tiem dotām pavēlēm. Sūtītājas valsts varas iestāde respektē lūgumus, kas saņemti no uzņēmējas valsts šajā jautājumā. VII pants 1. Saskaņā ar šī panta noteikumiem: a. Sūtītājas valsts militārām varas iestādēm ir tiesības realizēt uzņēmējas valsts teritorijā visu kriminālo un disciplināro jurisdikciju, kas tām piešķirta saskaņā ar sūtītājas valsts likumdošanu pār visām personām, kuras pakļautas šīs valsts militārajai likumdošanai; b. Uzņēmējas valsts varas iestādēm ir tiesības realizēt jurisdikciju pār spēku vai civilās sastāvdaļas dalībniekiem un to apgādājamiem attiecībā uz pārkāpumiem, kas izdarīti uzņēmējas valsts teritorijā un ir sodāmi saskaņā ar šīs valsts likumdošanu. 2. a. Sūtītājas valsts militārajām varas iestādēm ir ekskluzīvas tiesības realizēt jurisdikciju pār personām, kas pakļautas šīs valsts militārajai likumdošanai, attiecībā uz pārkāpumiem, to vidū pārkāpumiem, kuri attiecas uz tās drošību un ir sodāmi saskaņā ar sūtītājas valsts likumdošanu, bet nav sodāmi saskaņā ar uzņēmējas valsts likumdošanu. b. Uzņēmējas valsts varas iestādēm ir ekskluzīvas tiesības realizēt jurisdikciju pār spēku vai civilās sastāvdaļas dalībniekiem un to apgādājamiem attiecībā uz pārkāpumiem, ietverot pārkāpumus, kas attiecas uz šīs valsts drošību un sodāmi saskaņā ar tās likumdošanu, bet nav sodāmi saskaņā ar sūtītājas valsts likumdošanu. c. Šī punkta un šī panta 3.punkta nolūkos pārkāpumi pret valsts drošību ietver: (i) nodevību pret valsti; (ii) sabotāžu, spiegošanu vai jebkuru likumu, kas attiecas uz šīs valsts noslēpumiem vai noslēpumiem attiecībā uz šīs valsts aizsardzību, pārkāpumu. 3. Gadījumos, kad tiesības uz jurisdikciju ir vienlaicīgas, tiek piemēroti turpmākie noteikumi: a. Sūtītājas valsts militārām varas iestādēm ir primāras tiesības realizēt jurisdikciju pār spēku vai civilās sastāvdaļas dalībniekiem gadījumos, kad: (i) pārkāpumi izdarīti tikai attiecībā uz šīs valsts īpašumu vai drošību vai pārkāpumi izdarīti tikai attiecībā pret kāda cita šīs valsts spēku vai civilās sastāvdaļas dalībnieka, vai tā apgādājamā personu vai īpašumu; (ii) pārkāpumi radušies darbības vai nolaidības rezultātā, pildot dienesta pienākumus. b. Jebkuru citu pārkāpumu gadījumā uzņēmējas valsts varas iestādēm ir primāras tiesības realizēt jurisdikciju. c. Ja valsts, kam ir primāras tiesības, nolemj nerealizēt jurisdikciju, tā par to paziņo otras valsts varas iestādēm cik ātri vien iespējams. Valsts, kam ir primārās tiesības, varas iestādēm jāuzņem ar sapratni otras valsts varas iestāžu lūgums atteikties no savām tiesībām gadījumos, kad otra valsts uzskata šādu atteikšanos par īpaši svarīgu. 4. Turpmākie šī panta noteikumi nedod tiesības sūtītājas valsts militārām varas iestādēm realizēt jurisdikciju pār personām, kas pieder uzņēmējai valstij vai tajā pastāvīgi dzīvo, ja vien tie nav sūtītājas valsts spēku dalībnieki. 5. a. Uzņēmējas un sūtītājas valsts varas iestādes palīdz viena otrai spēku vai civilās sastāvdaļas dalībnieku vai to apgādājamo arestēšanā uzņēmējas valsts teritorijā un to nodošanā varas iestādei, kas realizē jurisdikciju saskaņā ar iepriekšējiem noteikumiem. b. Uzņēmējas valsts varas iestādes nekavējoties informē sūtītājas valsts militārās varas iestādes par ikvienu spēku vai civilās sastāvdaļas dalībnieka vai apgādājamā arestēšanu. c. Apsūdzētā spēku vai civilās sastāvdaļas dalībnieka vai apgādājamā, pār kuru uzņēmēja valsts realizē jurisdikciju, arests, ja viņš atrodas sūtītājas valsts varā, paliek šīs valsts ziņā līdz kamēr uzņēmēja valsts tam ceļ apsūdzību. 6. a. Uzņēmējas un sūtītājas valsts varas iestādes palīdz viena otrai visu nepieciešamo izmeklēšanas darbību veikšanā pārkāpumu gadījumos un pierādījumu vākšanā un uzrādīšanā, arī konfiscēšanā un attiecīgos gadījumos ar pārkāpumu saistīto priekšmetu nodošanā. Šādu priekšmetu nodošana var būt atkarīga no to atdošanas laika, ko noteikusi varas iestāde, kas tos izsniedz. b Līgumslēdzēju Pušu varas iestādes informē viena otru par lietu iznākumu visos gadījumos, kad tiesības realizēt jurisdikciju ir vienlaicīgas. 7. a. Sūtītājas valsts varas iestādes neizpilda nāves sodu uzņēmējā valstī, ja uzņēmējas valsts likumdošanā nav paredzēts šāds sods par līdzīgiem pārkāpumiem. b. Uzņēmējas valsts varas iestādes respektē sūtītājas valsts varas iestāžu lūgumu pēc palīdzības cietumsoda piemērošanā, ko saskaņā ar šī panta noteikumiem piespriedušas sūtītājas valsts varas iestādes uzņēmējas valsts teritorijā. 8. Gadījumos, kad saskaņā ar šī panta noteikumiem apsūdzēto tiesājušas vienas Līgumslēdzējas Puses tiesas iestādes un tas ticis attaisnots vai notiesāts, un izcieš sodu vai jau izcietis sodu, vai ticis apžēlots, citas Līgumslēdzējas Puses tiesas iestādes šajā pašā teritorijā viņu nevar atkārtoti tiesāt par to pašu pārkāpumu. Tomēr nekas šajā punktā nekavē sūtītājas valsts militārās varas iestādes sodīt tās spēku dalībnieku par jebkuru disciplināro noteikumu pārkāpumu, kas radies aiz darbības vai nolaidības, kuras rezultātā noticis pārkāpums, par kuru viņu sodījušas citas Līgumslēdzējas Puses varas iestādes. 9. Kad vien pret spēku vai civilās sastāvdaļas dalībnieku vai apgādājamo tiek uzsākta kriminālvajāšana uzņēmējas valsts jurisdikcijas ietvaros, tam ir tiesības: a. uz tūlītēju un ātru tiesu; b. pirms tiesas tikt informētam par apsūdzību vai apsūdzībām, kas tam tiek celtas; c. tikt konfrontētam ar lieciniekiem, kas liecina pret viņu; d. procesuālā ceļā iegūt lieciniekus, kas liecinātu viņa labā, ja tie atrodas uzņēmējas valsts jurisdikcijā; e. izvēlēties juridisko pārstāvniecību savai aizstāvībai pēc paša vēlēšanās vai arī saskaņā ar noteikumiem, kādi tajā brīdī ir spēkā uzņēmējā valstī, tiesas ieceltu aizstāvi; f. izmantot kompetenta tulka pakalpojumus, ja viņš to uzskata par nepieciešamu; un g. sazināties ar sūtītājas valsts valdības pārstāvi un, ja procesuālā kārtība to atļauj, šādam pārstāvim piedalīties tiesā. 10. a. Regulārām militārām vienībām vai spēku formējumiem ir tiesības uzturēt kārtību ikvienā nometnē, iestādē vai citās telpās, kurās tie uzturas ar uzņēmēju valsti noslēgta līguma rezultātā. Spēku militārā policija var veikt visus nepieciešamos pasākumus, lai nodrošinātu kārtību un drošību šādās telpās. b. Ārpus šīm telpām šāda militārā policija tiek nodarbināta, tikai pamatojoties uz vienošanos ar uzņēmējas valsts varas iestādēm un sadarbībā ar šīm varas iestādēm, un tiktāl, cik tas nepieciešams, lai uzturētu disciplīnu un kārtību spēku dalībnieku vidū. 11. Katra Līgumslēdzēja Puse piemēro tādu likumdošanu, kāda ir nepieciešama, lai nodrošinātu citas Līgumslēdzējas Puses iekārtu, ekipējuma, īpašuma, ierakstu un dienesta informācijas adekvātu drošību un aizsardzību savā teritorijā, un to personu sodīšanu, kuras pārkāpj likumus, kas izdoti šim mērķim. VIII pants 1. Katra Līgumslēdzēja Puse atsakās no visām savām prasībām pret citu Līgumslēdzēju Pusi par ikvienu tai piederošam īpašumam, ko lieto tās sauszemes, jūras vai gaisa bruņotie spēki, nodarīto zaudējumu, ja šādus zaudējumus: (i) radījis citas Līgumslēdzējas Puses bruņoto spēku dalībnieks vai nodarbinātais savu pienākumu, kas ir saskaņā ar Ziemeļatlantijas līgumu, pildīšanas laikā vai (ii) tie radušies no citai Līgumslēdzējai Pusei piederoša un tās bruņoto spēku lietošanā esoša jebkura transportlīdzekļa, peldlīdzekļa vai gaisa kuģa lietošanas ar nosacījumu, ka vai nu transportlīdzeklis, peldlīdzeklis vai gaisa kuģis, kas nodarījis zaudējumus, ticis lietots saskaņā ar Ziemeļatlantijas līguma darbību, vai zaudējums nodarīts īpašumam, kas šādi ticis lietots. Atteikšanās no vienas Līgumslēdzējas Puses prasībām, kas radušās no glābšanas uz jūras, pret otru Līgumslēdzēju Pusi pieļaujama ar noteikumu, ka glābtais peldlīdzeklis vai krava pieder Līgumslēdzējai Pusei un to lieto tās bruņotie spēki saskaņā ar Ziemeļatlantijas līguma darbību. 2. a. Gadījumā, ja zaudējumi nodarīti, kā tas noteikts 1.punktā, citam Līgumslēdzējas Puses īpašumam, kas atrodas tās teritorijā, atbildību nosaka un zaudējumu apmēru aprēķina arbitrs, kurš iecelts saskaņā ar šī punkta b. apakšpunktu, ja vien iesaistītās Līgumslēdzējas Puses nevienojas citādāk. Arbitrs arī …
