Chapter XXIII: Part XV: Miscellaneous Provisions (1)

'Germany undertakes to recognise the full force of the Treaties of Peace and Additional Conventions which may be concluded by the Allied and Associated Powers with the Powers who fought on the side of Germany, and to recognise whatever dispositions may be made concerning the territories of the former Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, of the Kingdom of Bulgaria, and of the Ottoman Empire, and to recognise the new States within their frontiers as there laid down.'

An agreement about to be made between France and Switzerland and a recent agreement between France and Monico are formally recognised.

Provision is made for the continuance of the work of German missions in transferred territories under the control of trustees appointed by the Allied and Associated Governments.

Another provision ensures the acceptance by Germany of the rulings of Allied Prize Courts.
