The Court granted recognition and enforcement of an English award of the International Cotton Association Limited (ICA), finding that the requirements of the New York Convention were met, as were the requirements of Mozambique law: there was no doubt as to the authenticity of the award; the award was final; there was no pending action on the same subject matter in Mozambique; the award had been rendered by a tribunal having jurisdiction under the Mozambique rules of conflict of laws; and there was no violation of public policy.
