New York Convention of 1958 NEW YORK CONVENTION OF 1958 INTRODUCTION The principal multilateral arbitration Conventions are reported on in Part V – A through V – D of the Yearbook. Part V – A contains the reporting on the 1958 New York Convention. Part V – B reports on the 1961 European (Geneva) Convention, Part V – C reports on the 1965 Washington (ICSID) Convention and Part V – D reports on the Inter-American (Panama) Convention of 1975. Court decisions in which more than one of these Conventions have been applied are included in the reporting on the Convention which has played the principal role in the decision. Thus, court decisions reported in Part V – A on the 1958 New York Convention may also contain references to the 1961 European (Geneva) Convention or the 1975 Inter-American (Panama) Convention. Likewise, court decisions in Part V – B, Part V – C or Part V – D may also contain a reference to the 1958 New York Convention. The list of subject matters will include the relevant Convention. This Volume reports on 78 New York Convention decisions rendered in 26 countries, bringing the total to 1,744 decisions from 67 countries and 2 jurisdictions. According to the Treaty Section of the United Nations, there are, as of 1 November 2011, 146 Contracting States (and 28 extensions) to the New York Convention. Since Volume XXXV (2010), the Summary of each decision, prefaced by a short recap, is published in print; a detailed Excerpt of the decision is available online at <www.kluwerarbitration.com>. A code provided with the Yearbook allows readers to access the relevant Volume online, as well as the preceding Volume. Readers who have purchased Volume XXXVI (2011) can therefore access materials from both this Volume and Volume XXXV (2010). Information on how to access the online materials is provided in a Note to the Reader at the beginning of this Volume (p. xv). In addition to publishing court decisions and up-to-date lists of Contracting States to these Conventions, the Yearbook also includes Commentaries. This Volume contains an updated version of the “Commentary on the European Convention on International Commercial Arbitration of 1961” by Dr. Dominique Hascher, which was originally published in Volume XX (1995). A List of Court Decisions and Arbitral Awards applying the European Convention is also included. Volume XVIII (1993) contains in Part V – C the contribution by Dr. Aron Broches, “Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes Yearbook Comm. Arb’n XXXVI (2011) 205 COURT DECISIONS ON THE NEW YORK CONVENTION 1958 Between States and Nationals of Other States of 1965, Explanatory Notes and Survey of its Application”. A Consolidated Commentary on the 1958 New York Convention (Volume XXII (1997) – Volume XXVII (2002)) by Prof. Albert Jan van den Berg was published in Volume XXVIII (2003) of the Yearbook. This Commentary may be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Commentary on the 1958 New York Convention Volume XX (1995) – Volume XXI (1996) published in Volume XXI (1996). An extensive commentary of court decisions applying the 1958 New York Convention will appear soon as the second edition of Prof. van den Berg’s 1981 treatise The New York Arbitration Convention of 1958: Towards a Uniform Judicial Interpretation. Concise yet inclusive information on the essential aspects of the scope, interpretation and application of the Convention can also be found in ICCA’s Guide to the Interpretation of the 1958 New York Convention, a handbook published by ICCA on the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary in 2011. The Guide is freely available in PDF format from the ICCA website, <www.arbitration- icca.org>. The present Volume contains as usual an Index of Cases, which facilitates research of New York Convention cases by both article of the Convention and subject matter. A Consolidated Index of Cases reported in Volumes XXII (1997) – XXVIII (2003) was published in Volume XXVIII (2003). An Index of Cases was also provided in each Volume since 2004. A Consolidated Index of Cases applying the New York Convention reported in the Yearbook since 1976 is available online on the ICCA website at <www.arbitration-icca.org>. The ICCA website also contains lists of all other court decisions and arbitral awards published in the Yearbook since Volume I (1976). All lists are updated each year with the materials published in the current volume of the Yearbook. See also <www.newyorkconvention.org>. In order to present the widely varied material contained in the Yearbook in a consistent manner, all decisions have been translated into English. The headings in the excerpts in some cases have been slightly modified or headings may have been added or deleted. The paragraphs of the excerpts are numbered to facilitate consultation and reference to the Commentary. Also, minor editorial changes have been made in the texts which in no way affect the substance of the decision. As mentioned, almost 1,750 court decisions on the New York Convention have been reported in the Yearbook since its inception. It is important to emphasize the essential role played by the readers of the Yearbook in reaching this extraordinary number, by drawing our attention to, or sending copies of, 206 Yearbook Comm.

    Deepwater Horizon Containment and Response: Harnessing Capabilities and Lessons Learned As we at BP look back over events since April 20, our sense of concern over the Deepwater Horizon incident, and our determination to make things right for the people, environment and communities of the Gulf Coast region have never been stronger. One way we can help make things right is to share - with the industry, government at all levels, and a wide range of The Deepwater Horizon incident, with the loss of eleven lives, was a terrible tragedy stakeholders - the lessons learned and the capabilities developed. We believe this will enhance response to future for the victims and their families, and for the people of the Gulf Coast. incidents of any size. At the same time, there is inspiration in the way thousands of selfless and dedicated The nature of the Deepwater Horizon incident – including the scope, scale, and complexity of the response – has driven women and men have devoted themselves to addressing the challenges from the large capability advances for the oil exploration industry as a whole. These new capabilities should be an integral part of Deepwater Horizon incident. The entire spill response has been and will an improved planning and response regime for industry, government and other responders. We believe it is valuable to continue to be conducted under the Unified Command structure, in which document them even as our response efforts continue. These advances can serve as part of an initial discussion on how ultimate authority resides in the United States Coast Guard. Within that structure, to institutionalize the increased capabilities and ensure that they can be readily mobilized in addressing a marine oil spill of any size.
