For the avoidance of doubt it is confirmed that in case a dispute with respect to the interpretation of the term ``public interest" has been submitted to international dispute settlement, the tribunal shall decide in accordance with such rules of law as may be agreed upon by the parties to the dispute. In the absence of such agreement the Tribunal shall apply the law of the Contracting State party to the dispute (including its rules on the conflict of laws), and such rules of international law as may be applicable.
