handle is hein.ali/aliuslaw0016 and id is 1 raw text is: THE U.S. LAW OF INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION CHAPTER 4. POST-AWARD RELIEF TOPIC 2. GROUNDS FOR POST-AWARD RELIEF SUBTOPIC A. CONVENTION AWARDS § 4-12 Arbitration Agreement Does Not Exist or Is Invalid D.D.C.2015. Com. (e) quot. in sup. (T.D. No. 2, 2012). After Belizean companies obtained an arbitration award against the government of Belize, this court granted companies' petition to confirm the award pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, which implemented the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, and denied Belize's motion to dismiss the petition, holding that Belize failed to provide any proof that the arbitration provision in the parties' agreement was invalid under Belizean law. The court rejected Belize's argument that it did not agree to arbitrate because the agreement was invalid, reasoning that, under the Convention and Restatement Third of International Commercial Arbitration § 4-12, a challenge to an arbitration under the Convention had to be brought against the agreement to arbitrate, not against the contract as a whole. BCB Holdings Limited v. Government of Belize, 110 F.Supp.3d 233, 248.
