The New York Convention
United Nations Conference on International Commercial Arbitration Summary Record of the Twenty-Fifth Meeting Held at Headquarters, New York, June 10, 1958.
Representatives of ten States signed the New York Convention on June 10, 1958. In his closing remarks, Carl Schurmann, President of the Conference, stated that “[i]t was still too early to tell whether the instrument prepared by the Conference would serve the ends of trade and justice. That would only be shown by experience. However, it was already apparent that the document represented an improvement on the Geneva Convention of 1927… Nevertheless, the actual situation would not be really improved until a large number of States had ratified the Convention or acceded to it.”
Currently, 156 States have adopted the New York Convention.
