Even after Egypt's accession to the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of 1958, successive Egyptian arbitration laws have been rigidly devoted to the territoriality principle. The present article demonstrates that the concept of -non-domestic‖ awards as denoted in the Convention has never been observed, and whenever the seat is in Egypt, there will be no consideration of whether the arbitration was subject to a foreign arbitral law. Also, this article discusses the criterion for and significance of the "internationality" of arbitration in Egyptian arbitration law and the extent to which that law approaches the Convention's rule in regard to jurisdiction over the setting aside of foreign arbitral awards, as interpreted in many jurisdictions. From a private international law standpoint, this article clarifies the absence of some basic concepts, suggests harmonious solutions, and highlights the necessity of some reforms in the Egyptian arbitration law.
