CONFeRENCE
Arbitral Awards: Universalism or Exceptionalism?
Caroline Kleiner is organizing a conference on Monday, November 18, 2024 on Enforcement or Arbitral Awards: Universalism or Exceptionalism? which will take place at Paris Cité University, Malakoff campus. The conference will bring together 16 speakers and moderators: professors, lawyers, arbitrators, all prestigious experts in international arbitration law, to discuss the enforcement of arbitral awards, the subject of the New York Convention of 1958, in force in 172 States. The objective of the New York Convention was to promote the enforcement of arbitral awards, by limiting the grounds for refusal of recognition and enforcement. As a result, the Convention aimed to harmonize the enforcement regime, while leaving room for national laws for certain aspects. The speakers will discuss the application of the Convention by judges from different jurisdictions, with a view to assessing whether, after 65 years of entry into force, the Convention has succeeded in “universalizing” the regime for the execution of sentences or if it is largely tinged with national exceptions.
