question:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''International Arbitration
Enforcement Act of 1996''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Arbitration is an efficient and flexible dispute
resolution mechanism of great benefit to United States persons
doing business internationally.
(2) In some countries, particularly those with undeveloped
or inconsistent judicial systems, international arbitration may
be the only fair and reliable dispute resolution mechanism
available to United States persons.
(3) The usefulness of international arbitration depends in
large measure on the commitment of foreign states to enforce
foreign arbitral awards pursuant to their accession to, and
observance of, the Convention on the Recognition and
Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards.
(4) United States persons are often without remedies when
foreign states violate the Convention by refusing to enforce
foreign arbitral awards or by otherwise impairing the ability
to collect the awards by improperly delaying their enforcement.
(5) It is in the interest of the United States to maintain
the reliability of international arbitration, to promote the
observance of the Convention, and to protect United States
persons from economic injury resulting from violations of the
Convention by foreign states.
(6) Similarly, it would be unjust to permit a foreign state
to be shielded from liability in the United States for the
damages suffered by a United States person abroad resulting
from a violation of the Convention by the foreign state.
(7) It is therefore in the national interest to create a
judicial remedy in favor of United States persons injured as a
result of a violation of the Convention by a foreign state and
to facilitate the execution of any judgment entered in such an
action.

SEC. 3. PURPOSE.

The purpose of this Act is to create a civil remedy against foreign
states whose violation of the Convention injures United States persons
by prohibiting the enforcement of foreign arbitral awards entered in
favor of such United States persons or by impairing the ability of such
United States persons to collect such awards.

SEC. 4. DEFINITIONS.

As used in this Act--
(1) Convention.--The term ''Convention'' means the
Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign
Arbitral Awards, done at New York on June 10, 1958.
(2) United states person.--The term ''United States
person'' means--
(A) any United States citizen or alien admitted for
permanent residence into the United States; and
(B) any corporation, trust, partnership, or other
judicial entity which is 50 percent or more
beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by
individuals described in subparagraph (A).
(3) Foreign arbitral award.--The term ''foreign arbitral
award'' means any arbitral award to which the Convention
applies.

SEC. 5. LIABILITY FOR VIOLATION OF THE CONVENTION.

(a) Civil Remedy.--(1) Any foreign state that is certified by the
President under subsection (b) to have injured a United States person
through the state's violation of the Convention with respect to a
foreign arbitral award shall be liable to the United States person for
money damages consisting of--
(A) the amount of the foreign arbitral award, plus any
interest provided for by the award; and
(B) the attorney's fees and costs incurred by the United
States person in bringing an action under this Act with respect

(B) a foreign state has impeded, in violation of its
obligations under the Convention, the enforcement of a foreign
arbitral award entered in favor of that United States person
such that the ability of the United States person to collect
the award may reasonably be presumed to have been impaired or
reduced; and
(2) the United States person has exhausted all judicial and
administrative remedies in the foreign state in which the
arbitral award is sought to be enforced, or the further pursuit
of such remedies would reasonably be considered to be futile.
(c) Effect of Presidential Certification.--A Presidential
certification that a United States person has been injured by a foreign
state's violation of the Convention shall, in any action brought under
this Act, establish an evidentiary presumption that--
(1) the foreign state certified to have violated the
Convention has done so; and
