Recognition and exequatur of the arbitral award presuppose that its existence is proven by the
party relying thereupon.
The existence of the arbitral award is established by the production of the original together with
the arbitration agreement, or by copies of the said documents accompanied by proof of their
authenticity.
If the said documents are not in French, the party shall produce a translation certified by a
translator registered on the list of experts established by the competent courts.
The recognition and exequatur shall be refused only where the arbitral award is manifestly
contrary to a rule of international public policy of the States Parties.
