Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards
承認及執行外國仲裁裁決公約
(1958年6月10日訂於紐約)
Article I
1. This Convention shall apply to the recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards made in the territory of a State other than the State where the recognition and enforcement of such awards are sought, and arising out of differences between persons, whether physical or legal. It shall also apply to arbitral awards not considered as domestic awards in the State where their recognition and enforcement are sought.
一、仲裁裁決，因自然人或法人間之爭議而產生且在聲請承認及執行地所在國以外之國家領土內作成者，其承認及執行適用本公約。本公約對於仲裁裁決經聲請承認及執行地所在國認為非內國裁決者，亦適用之。
2. The term "arbitral awards" shall include not only awards made by arbitrators appointed for each case but also those made by permanent arbitral bodies to which the parties have submitted.
二、「仲裁裁決」一詞不僅指專案選派之仲裁員所作裁決，亦指當事人提請仲裁之常設仲裁機關所作裁決。
3. When signing, ratifying or acceding to this Convention, or notifying extension under article X hereof, 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. It 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.
三、任何國家得於籤署、批准或加入本公約時，或於本公約第十條通知推廣適用時，本著互惠原則聲明該國適用本公約，以承認及執行在另一締約國領土內作成之裁決為限。任何國家亦得聲明，該國唯於爭議起於法律關係，不論其為契約性質與否，而依提出聲明國家之國內法認為系屬商事關係者，始適用本公約。
Article II
1. Each Contracting State shall recognize an agreement in writing under which the parties undertake to submit to arbitration all or any differences which have arisen or which may arise between them in respect of a defined legal relationship, whether contractual or not, concerning a subject matter capable of settlement by arbitration.
一、當事人以書面協定承允彼此間所發生或可能發生之一切或任何爭議，如關涉可以仲裁解決事項之確定法律關係，不論為契約性質與否，應提交仲裁時，各締約國應承認此項協定。
2. The term "agreement in writing" shall include an arbitral clause in a contract or an arbitration agreement, signed by the parties or contained in an exchange of letters or telegrams.
二、稱「書面協定」者，謂當事人所籤訂或在互換函電中所載明之契約仲裁條款或仲裁協定。
3. The court of a Contracting State, when seized of an action in a matter in respect of which the parties have made an agreement within the meaning of this article, shall, at the request of one of the parties, refer the parties to arbitration, unless it finds that the said agreement is null and void, inoperative or incapable of being performed.
三、當事人就訴訟事項訂有本條所稱之協定者，締約國法院受理訴訟時應依當事人一造之請求，命當事人提交仲裁，但前述協定經法院認定無效、失效或不能實行者不在此限。
Article III
Each Contracting State shall recognize arbitral awards as binding and enforce them in accordance with the rules of procedure of the territory where the award is relied upon, under the conditions laid down in the following articles. There shall not be imposed substantially more onerous conditions or higher fees or charges on the recognition or enforcement of arbitral awards to which this Convention applies than are imposed on the recognition or enforcement of domestic arbitral awards.
各締約國應承認仲裁裁決具有拘束力，並依援引裁決地之程序規則及下列各條所載條件執行之。承認或執行適用本公約之仲裁裁決時，不得較承認或執行內國仲裁裁決附加過苛之條件或徵收過多之費用。
Article IV
1. To obtain the recognition and enforcement mentioned in the preceding article, the party applying for recognition and enforcement shall, at the time of the application, supply:
一、聲請承認及執行之一造，為取得前條所稱之承認及執行，應於聲請時提具：

(甲) 原裁決之正本或其正式副本，
(b) The original agreement referred to in article II or a duly certified copy thereof.
(乙) 第二條所稱協定之原本或其正式副本。
2. If the said award or agreement is not made in an official language of the country in which the award is relied upon, the party applying for recognition and enforcement of the award shall produce a translation of these documents into such language. The translation shall be certified by an official or sworn translator or by a diplomatic or consular agent.
二、倘前述裁決或協定所用文字非為援引裁決地所在國之正式文字，聲請承認及執行裁決之一造應備具各該文件之此項文字譯本。譯本應由公設或宣誓之翻譯員或外交或領事人員認證之。
Article V
1. Recognition and enforcement of the award may be refused, at the request of the party against whom it is invoked, only if that party furnishes to the competent authority where the recognition and enforcement is sought, proof that:
一、裁決唯有於受裁決援用之一造向聲請承認及執行地之主管機關提具證據證明有下列情形之一時，始得依該造之請求，拒予承認及執行：
(a) The parties to the agreement referred to in article II were, under the law applicable to them, under some incapacity, or the said agreement is not valid under the law to which the parties have subjected it or, failing any indication thereon, under the law of the country where the award was made; or
(甲) 第二條所稱協定之當事人依對其適用之法律有某種無行為能力情形者，或該項協定依當事人作為協定準據之法律系屬無效，或未指明以何法律為準時，依裁決地所在國法律系屬無效者;
(b) The party against whom the award is invoked was not given proper notice of the appointment of the arbitrator or of the arbitration proceedings or was otherwise unable to present his case; or
(乙)受裁決援用之一造未接獲關於指派仲裁員或仲裁程序之適當通知，或因他故，致未能申辯者;
(c) The award deals with a difference not contemplated by or not falling within the terms of the submission to arbitration, or it contains decisions on matters beyond the scope of the submission to arbitration, provided that, if the decisions on matters submitted to arbitration can be separated from those not so submitted, that part of the award which contains decisions on matters submitted to arbitration may be recognized and enforced; or
(丙) 裁決所處理之爭議非為交付仲裁之標的或不在其條款之列，或裁決載有關於交付仲裁範圍以外事項之決定者，但交付仲裁事項之決定可與未交付仲裁之事項劃分時，裁決中關於交付仲裁事項之決定部分得予承認及執行;
(d) The composition of the arbitral authority or the arbitral procedure was not in accordance with the agreement of the parties, or, failing such agreement, was not in accordance with the law of the country where the arbitration took place; or
(丁) 仲裁機關之組成或仲裁程序與各造間之協議不符，或無協議而與仲裁地所在國法律不符者;
(e) The award has not yet become binding on the parties, or has been set aside or suspended by a competent authority of the country in which, or under the law of which, that award was made.

二、倘聲請承認及執行地所在國之主管機關認定有下列情形之一，亦得拒不承認及執行仲裁裁決：
(a) The subject matter of the difference is not capable of settlement by arbitration under the law of that country; or
(甲) 依該國法律，爭議事項系不能以仲裁解決者;
(b) The recognition or enforcement of the award would be contrary to the public policy of that country.
(乙) 承認或執行裁決有違該國公共政策者。
Article VI
If an application for the setting aside or suspension of the award has been made to a competent authority referred to in article V(1)(e), the authority before which the award is sought to be relied upon may, if it considers it proper, adjourn the decision on the enforcement of the award and may also, on the application of the party claiming enforcement of the award, order the other party to give suitable security.
倘裁決業經向第五條第一項(戊)款所稱之主管機關聲請撤銷或停止執行，受理援引裁決案件之機關得於其認為適當時延緩關於執行裁決之決定，並得依請求執行一造之聲請，命他造提供妥適之擔保。
Article VII
1. The provisions of the present Convention shall not affect the validity of multilateral or bilateral agreements concerning the recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards entered into by the Contracting States nor deprive any interested party of any right he may have to avail himself of an arbitral award in the manner and to the extent allowed by the law or the treaties of the country where such award is sought to be relied upon.
一、本公約之規定不影響締約國間所訂關於承認及執行仲裁裁決之多邊或雙邊協定之效力，亦不剝奪任何利害關係人可依援引裁決地所在國之法律或條約所認許之方式，在其許可範圍內，援用仲裁裁決之任何權利。
