The investor's home State, the State of the tribunal's seat, and the host State have adopted legislation implementing the 1985 UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration (UNCITRAL Model Law) and have ratified the 1958 Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (New York Convention).
