Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (New York, 1958)

The ICC International Court of Arbitration was the initiator and leader of the movement which led to the adoption of the New York Convention of 10 June 1958 on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards. The New York Convention is the most important multilateral treaty on international arbitration.

Basically, it requires courts of each contracting state:

- to recognize arbitration agreements in writing and to refuse to allow a dispute to be litigated before them when it is subject to an arbitration agreement; and

- to recognize and enforce foreign arbitral awards.

Before entering into an international arbitration agreement, a party is advised to check whether the states of the other contracting party and, if appropriate, of the place of arbitration, have ratified the New York Convention or have signed other multilateral or bilateral treaties offering the same guarantees.
