The U S Czech spy dispute may go before a three member arbitration panel under the 1947 U N U N agreement.

Nadlavac accuses U S intelligence of recruitment while Washington says he spied for the Red government. The Czech mission protests the espionage charge and seeks UN intervention. Nadlavac is not a UN employee, complicating expulsion.
