U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 1650a. Arbitration awards under the Convention
(a) Treaty rights; enforcement; full faith and credit;
nonapplication of Federal Arbitration Act
An award of an arbitral tribunal rendered pursuant to chapter IV
of the convention shall create a right arising under a treaty of
the United States. The pecuniary obligations imposed by such an
award shall be enforced and shall be given the same full faith and
credit as if the award were a final judgment of a court of general
jurisdiction of one of the several States. The Federal Arbitration
Act (9 U.S.C. 1 et seq.) shall not apply to enforcement of awards
rendered pursuant to the convention.
(b) Jurisdiction; amount in controversy
The district courts of the United States (including the courts
enumerated in section 460 of title 28) shall have exclusive
jurisdiction over actions and proceedings under subsection (a) of
this section, regardless of the amount in controversy.
