The International Arbitration Bill is intended to modernise South African legislation on International Arbitration, by, amongst other things, incorporating the provisions of the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitrations and by addressing shortcomings of the Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards Act 1977 by replacing it with a chapter designed to give full effect to South Africa’s obligations under the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, also known as the New York Convention.
