Definitions D.D.C.2016. Cit. in case quot. in sup. (citing § 1-1 of T.D. No. 2, 2012). Company brought a petition under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act to confirm an arbitration award issued in Ivory Coast against the Republic of Niger due to its unilateral cancellation of a contract whereby plaintiff had agreed to produce a million biometric and electronic passports. This court granted plaintiff's motion for a default judgment and confirmed the arbitral award, holding that it had jurisdiction, defendant was properly served, and there were no grounds for denying the confirmation of the arbitral award. Citing Restatement of U.S. Law of International Commercial and Investment Arbitration § 1-1 (T.D. No. 2, 2012), the court explained that, under the New York Convention, the term commercial referred to matters or relationships, whether contractual or not, that arose out of or in connection with commerce. Africard Co. Ltd. v. Republic of Niger, 210 F.Supp.3d 119, 124. D.D.C.2016. Quot. in case quot. in disc. (quoting § 1-1 of T.D. No. 2, 2012). Investors in businesses that sought to explore and develop oil and gas fields located in Kazakhstan brought a petition under the Federal Arbitration Act to confirm their foreign-arbitration award against the Republic of Kazakhstan related to allegations that it violated the Energy Charter Treaty. While staying the action pending resolution of a challenge to set aside the arbitral award, this court concluded that it had subject-matter jurisdiction under the Federal Arbitration Act, because, among other things, the subject matter of the arbitration was commercial. The court cited Restatement of U.S. Law of International Commercial and Investment Arbitration § 1-1 (T.D. No. 2, 2012), in noting that the fact that an agreement to arbitrate was in a contract between a government and a private person could confirm its commercial character. Stati v.
