INDIA acceded to the NY Convention on 13 July 1960 with two reservations: (a) RECIPROCITY — only applies to awards made in territory of another Contracting State; (b) COMMERCIAL — only applies to commercial matters. 5. (ii) CHAPTER II (Sections 53-60) — GENEVA CONVENTION AWARDS (Geneva Protocol 1923 and Geneva Convention 1927). 6.
