The UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration (also known as the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules, or simply the Model Law) represents internationally agreed principles of best practice in international arbitration. The Model Law was adopted as Hong Kong’s international arbitration law with effect from 6 April 1990 with only one modification: omitting the word 'commercial' from the term 'international commercial arbitration.' This amendment was made to give the law its widest possible scope. Under the Arbitration Ordinance, Mainland arbitral awards made by a recognised Mainland arbitral authority and arbitral awards made in the territory of states which are signatories to the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards are enforceable in Hong Kong.
