《承认及执行外国仲裁裁决公约》，即《纽约公约》，全文共15条，于1958年6月10日订于纽约，1959年6月7日生效。为国际商事领域的重要的争议解决公约。

它的诞生标志着仲裁逐渐成为国际商事领域最受重视的争议解决制度。较之《日内瓦议定书》和《日内瓦公约》适用范围更宽，限制了传统仲裁法坚持的仲裁地法控制仲裁的观念，确立了倾向于执行仲裁裁决的国际政策以及承认和执行外国裁决的最低国际标准，并在缔约国之间确立了特殊的权利义务平衡关系。

The Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, also known as the New York Convention, was adopted by a United Nations diplomatic conference on 10 June 1958 and entered into force on 7 June 1959. The Convention requires courts of contracting states to give effect to private agreements to arbitrate and to recognize and enforce arbitration awards made in other contracting states. Widely considered the foundational instrument for international arbitration, it applies to arbitrations which are not considered as domestic awards in the state where recognition and enforcement is sought. Though other international conventions apply to the cross-border enforcement of arbitration awards, the New York Convention is by far the most important.
