NOTES


I This column of the table lists the countries that have ratified, acceded or succeeded to the 1958 New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (based on information provided by UNCITRAL as at 19 January 2009; up-to-date information can be obtained from the UNCITRAL website at http://www.uncitral.org/en-index.htm).

Pursuant to Article 1 of the New York Convention, when signing, ratifying or acceding to the New York Convention, any State may on the basis of reciprocity declare that it will apply the Convention to the recognition and enforcement of awards made only in the territory of another contracting State (the “Reciprocity Reservation”) and may also declare that it will apply the Convention only to differences arising out of legal relationships, whether contractual or not, which are considered as commercial under the national law of the State making such declaration (the “Commercial Dispute Reservation”). The list indicates whether a State has made either or both of these declarations. A number of States have declared further reservations to the application of the Convention.

II This column of the table lists the territories to which the 1927 Geneva Convention on the Execution of Foreign Arbitral Awards applies (however, certain countries no longer apply this Convention in cir­cumstances where the 1958 New York Convention or the 1961 Geneva European Convention apply, or apply the Convention subject to reservations; application should therefore be checked on a case-by-case basis).


III This column of the table lists the territories to which the 1961 Geneva European Convention on International Commercial Arbitration applies (however, certain countries no longer apply this Convention in circumstances where the 1958 New York Convention applies, or apply the Convention subject to reservations; application should therefore be checked on a case-by-case basis).


IV This column of the table lists the countries which have ratified, acceded or succeeded to the 1965 Washington Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes Between States and Nationals of Other States as at 19 January 2009; up-to-date information can be obtained from the website of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) at http://www.worldbank.org/icsid.


V This column of the table lists the countries that have ratified, acceded or succeeded to the Energy Charter Treaty as at 19 January 2009. Up-to-date information can be obtained from http://www.encharter.org.

On 19 July 2005, China declared that the Convention shall apply to the Macao Special Administrative Region of China, subject to the statement originally made by China upon accession to the Convention.

Therefore, the Russian Federation has full responsibility for all the rights and obligations of the USSR under the 1958 New York Convention.


XVIII The 1958 New York Convention is due to come into force in this State on 29 January 2009.
