ICCA's guide to the Interpretation of The 1958 New York Convention: A handbook for Judges

"[...] This Guide is intended to provide an outline of the Convention and give guidance to judges determining applications under the Convention as to its scope, interpretation and application. It is intended as a concise Guide written in plain language which would serve as a road map to more extensive study if need be. The Guide is designed to provide answers to individual questions that might arise at any stage of applying the Convention, rather than to be a comprehensive reference work. We address this Guide to the judges who are such an integral part of making the Convention work.

It is hoped that this Guide will not only be of interest to judges, but also to students, teachers and practitioners. We have attempted to avoid academic discourse as much as possible but this has not always been attainable. A number of highly discussed and controversial cases that create a great deal of interest in the academic community are not of interest for the normal application of the Convention. Although some cases will be referred to in order to illustrate a point we have tried to limit this to essential principles."
