Democratic Republic of the Congo to accede to the New York Convention

On the 26th of June, the President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo promulgated Law 13/023, authorizing the accession of the DRC to the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (the "New York Convention").

In order to finalize the accession to the New York Convention, the Democratic Republic of the Congo needs to depose its instrument of accession to the Secretary-General of the United Nations. The Convention will then enter into force in the Republic on the 90th day following the date of deposit of its instrument of ratification or accession.
