    (a) An award of an arbitral tribunal resolving a dispute arising 
under Article 57 or Article 58 of the Convention shall create a right

imposed by such an award shall be enforced and shall be given the same 
full faith and credit as if the award were a final judgment of a court 
of general jurisdiction of one of the several States. The Federal 
Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. 1, et seq.) shall not apply to enforcement of 
awards rendered pursuant to the Convention.
    (b) The district courts of the United States (including the courts 
enumerated in section 460 of title 28) shall have exclusive jurisdiction 
over actions and proceedings under subsection (a) of this section, 
regardless of the amount in controversy.
