NOTION OF "INTERNATIONAL CONTRACTS" AND "INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION" -
REFERENCE TO COMMENT 1 TO THE PREAMBLE OF THE UNIDROIT PRINCIPLES IN SUPPORT OF A BROAD INTERPRETATION OF THE TWO NOTIONS
Abstract
In a dispute concerning a series of business transactions one of the questions to be decided was whether the arbitral proceedings was of an international or domestic nature. The applicable law was Turkish law but the Arbitral Tribunal also referred to the UNIDROIT Principles – namely to Comment 1 to the Preamble favouring a broad interpretation of the notion of “international contracts” – in support of its finding that in the case at hand the arbitral proceedings was to be considered of an international nature.
