- arbitration agreements;
- conduct of and the judicial role in international arbitral proceedings in the United States;
- awards;
- recourse from and enforcement of international arbitral awards rendered in the United States;
- the judicial role in international arbitral proceedings abroad;
- enforcement of international arbitral awards rendered abroad;
- the preclusive effect of international arbitral awards; and
- ICSID Convention arbitration.
Status:
The Council approved the start of the project in December 2007. Work has begun on topics of recognition and enforcement.
The first Tentative Draft was approved at the 2010 Annual Meeting, subject to the discussion at the meeting and to editorial prerogative. The draft next will be submitted to the Council for approval in fall 2010.
This project is likely to last several more years before completion.
