Court-Ordered Provisional Measures under the New York Convention

In recent years, several courts in the United States have denied requests for pre-award attachments on the ground that such remedies were contrary to the parties’ agreement to arbitrate, and thus to the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (New York Convention or Convention). Despite these decisions, pre-award attachment is an available remedy in certain jurisdictions in the United States. Furthermore, pre-award remedies to secure assets located outside the United States can be obtained through the courts in other countries
