Statute overview

About this statute

This article says the Convention applies to certain arbitral awards and lets a State declare narrower application in specified cases. Contracting States must recognize written arbitration agreements, and courts must send parties to arbitration when asked, unless the agreement is invalid or cannot be applied. Each Contracting State must recognize arbitral awards as binding and enforce them under its procedural rules, and must not impose tougher conditions or higher fees than for domestic awards. A party seeking recognition and enforcement must file the required award and agreement documents, and must provide a certified translation if they are not in the relevant official language. Recognition and enforcement of an arbitral award may be refused only if the party resisting enforcement gives proof to the competent authority of specified grounds.
