SOTOMAYOR, J., concurring 

Article II of the Convention leaves much to the contract-
ing states to resolve on their own, and the FAA imposes few 
restrictions.  Nevertheless,  courts  applying  domestic  non-
signatory  doctrines  to  enforce  arbitration  agreements  un-
der  the  Convention  must  strictly  adhere  to  “the  founda-
tional  FAA  principle  that  arbitration  is  a  matter  of 
consent.”  Stolt-Nielsen,  559  U. S.,  at  684.  Because  the 
Court’s opinion is consistent with this limitation, I join it in
full.
