<p>The New York Convention is considered as the main pillar of the international arbitration and the most effective transnational legal instrument in international trade. But the most important challenge that the Convention is facing is a uniform application by the Member States. Article V of the Convention containing several grounds for refusal of recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards, could be deemed as an obstacle to achieve this goal. The most controversial ground is the public policy that affects the uniform application of the Convention and the predictability of the arbitration process.

Is it necessary to revise the New York Convention to address this issue?</p>In order to answer these questions, the paper at hand will present some court decisions in order to elaborate the mentioned challenge and find an appropriate solution.

This chapter focuses on the role of transnational public policy in international arbitration. Public policy is a key concept for international arbitration because it has provided the underpinning foundations for the development of theories on transnational autonomy of arbitration. Moreover, it is enshrined in the 1958 New York Convention for the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards as well as almost all national laws as a ground to resist enforcement of arbitral awards. The chapter then traces the historical evolution of transnational public policy and provides an overview of its legal function and rules and principles. The clear distinction between legal and non-legal conceptions of transnational public policy matters because it has important implications on the judicial function of tribunals in international arbitration.

This chapter focuses on the choice and enforcement of applicable law in arbitration agreements. In international arbitration cases, Article V(1)(a) of the New York Convention provides that the validity of an arbitration agreement should be first determined under the law to which the parties have subjected it or, failing any indication thereon, under the law of the country where the award was made. Hence, if the parties have not chosen the applicable law for an arbitration agreement, ‘the default rule’ is that the law of the place of arbitration shall apply. This chapter addresses the question as it applies to Korea and considers cases where conflict or a misapplication of the law is in effect. Moreover, it also covers several cases in which courts have applied the Act on International Private Law (AIPL), Korea’s conflict-of-laws statute, to determine the applicable law.

This introductory chapter discusses the rise of arbitration in Brazil. Modern commercial arbitration in Brazil is overtaking classic strongholds of international arbitration, despite its relatively young history. The Brazilian Arbitration Law (BAL) was adopted in 1996, eleven years after Brazil's re-democratization in 1985. The law revoked those parts of the Civil Procedure Code of 1973 particularly detrimental to the success of arbitration in the last century. Rather than integrating the new arbitration law into the existing Civil Procedure Code (CPC), the Brazilian legislator preserved it as a standalone act, thus revoking the CPC's pre-existing arbitration rules. In this way, the legislator facilitated developing an interpretation sui generis, thus preventing the matter from being taken over entirely by scholars of civil procedure law. Today, Brazilian arbitration scholars and practitioners come from many different backgrounds, including commercial, civil, international, and civil procedure law. Even tax, constitutional, and administrative lawyers are part of the community. The chapter then looks at the ratification of the New York Convention (NYC) in Brazil.

Legal Concepts

Despite its importance, the arbitral award was left undefined by the New York Convention and most other major international arbitration laws. This has inevitably led to varying opinions regarding its nature and confusion regarding the thresholds that differentiate arbitral awards from other tribunal decisions. Partly in response to the above, there has been discussion to initiate the revising process of the Convention. Responses have been divided. In this paper, the author finds that revision will not bring the desired results, while the Convention itself has equipped international arbitration practice with tools to overcome obscure legal concepts such as the arbitral award.
