International arbitration; procedural law. Energy Charter Treaty (ECT). Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. Application to annul arbitral awards (Yukos Awards). Relation between annulment proceedings (former art. 1065 Dutch Code of Civil Procedure (CCP)) and revocation proceedings (former art. 1064 CCP); can fraud in the arbitration proceedings only be raised in revocation proceedings? Jurisdiction of the arbitral tribunal. Is the Russian Federation required by art. 45 ECT to provisionally apply art. 26 ECT (which enables international arbitration in investment disputes)? Interpretation of art. 45 ECT (‘Provisional application’) and of the Limitation Clause therein. Interpretation of ‘Investment’ and ‘Investor’ in art. 1 (6) and (7) ECT.
