Iran-United States Claims Tribunal
In 2001, McDonald was called to serve another historic tribunal, the Iran-United States Claims Tribunal, as one of three American Arbitrators. The International Claims Tribunal, also based in The Hague, was established by agreement between the United States and Iran in 1981, and has, since then, adjudicated claims by United States nationals for compensation for assets nationalized by the Iranian government, and claims by the governments against each other. McDonald is the only woman among the panel of nine arbitrators.
