Ordre Public can be translated in English as "Public Policy", and not
"Public Order" since the latter might have connotations principally of a
criminal nature.
According to our telephone discussions, this appears not to be the same
thing as "General Principles of International Law" either, since
objections based on a government's evaluation of a word likely to cause
local disruption would also be received by the DRSP.
I therefore suggest the translation of "Ordre Public", such as "Public
Policy".

This gives rise to the rather onerous:  "Objections Based on Public
Policy or General Principles of International Law".

Kind regards,

Olivier
