A party to an arbitration covered by the Convention has up to three years after the award is made to ask a court with jurisdiction to confirm it. The court must confirm the award, unless it finds one of the Convention's specific grounds for refusing or delaying recognition.

This section is one undivided provision. Within three years after an arbitration award covered by the Convention is issued, any party to that arbitration can apply to a court with jurisdiction under this chapter, asking the court to confirm the award against another party. The court must confirm the award — unless it finds that one of the specific grounds the Convention allows for refusing or postponing recognition or enforcement applies.
