The case falls under the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, June 10, 1958, 330 U.N.T.S. 3 (the New York Convention) under 9 U.S.C. §202, because the award arises out of a contractual commercial relationship between the parties, and the relationship is not entirely between citizens of the United States.
