Abstract

The phrase ‘null and void, inoperative or incapable of being performed’ contained in Article II(3) of the New York Convention has attracted relatively little attention in the international arbitration community. It nonetheless retains the potential to have a significant impact on arbitration agreements. This article considers the meaning of ‘null and void’ and highlights the current varied understandings and applications of this term, before re-iterating support for an application of an internationally neutral understanding of the term. What this article seeks to ultimately achieve is to provoke further consideration of the terms ‘null and void’, with a view to ensuring greater clarity and uniformity in its understanding and application in the long term.

我现在宣布你“无效”:根据《纽约公约》确定的方式和适用的法律

《纽约公约》第二条第(三)款所载的“无效、不能执行或不能履行”一词在国际仲裁界引起的关注相对较少。尽管如此，它仍有可能对仲裁协议产生重大影响。本文考虑了“无效”的含义，并强调了当前对该术语的不同理解和应用，然后重申支持对该术语的国际中立理解的应用。本文的最终目标是激起对“无效”一词的进一步考虑，以确保其理解和长期应用的更清晰和统一。
