1 The charges were that Sweden had violated Hague Convention V of 1907 in the matter of recruiting and the forming of units under command of Swedish army officers, in permitting the repair of German war machines in Swedish factories, in refusing to intern crews of German military aircraft which had landed in Sweden, in permitting Germans, to use Swedish territorial waters and in convoying German transports, in allowing southern Swedish ports to be converted into German bases, and in assuming fictitious ownership of several Finnish ships and permitting them to fly the Swedish flag.
