The provisions ofArticles 21 and 22 of this Convention do not prevent the application of the mandatory provisions of any other multilateral convention already in force at the date of this Convention relating to matters dealt with in the saidArticles, provided that the dispute arises exclusively between parties having their principal place of business in States members of such other convention.
