The Court denied the petition to confirm an award of the Vilnius Court of Commercial Arbitration, finding that it could not exercise personal jurisdiction over the respondent, which, as an instrumentality of the Republic of Tajikistan, was assumed to be entitled to the protections of the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment. Skyroad failed to make showings to rebut that assumption. Accordingly, consistent with the Due Process Clause the Court could only exercise personal jurisdiction over the respondent if the respondent had sufficient minimum contacts with the United States. The record, noted the Court, revealed no such contacts.
