text: 208. With regard to article 19, the Special Reppsrteur considered that there were aaoeatially throo isouee on which tho views of memhsro were sought. First, tho views were still divided 01 to the choice between the bracketed terms [commercial contract] end [civil or commercial matter ] in tho w of the erticle. The Special Rapporteur held the view that there would PO little reason to limit the suparvisory jurisdiction of a court of a forum Strrto to a “commercial contract” or o “commerciel transection”, since the scope of an arbitration depondod primarily on the terms of the arbitration agreement and, ’ in EacC, there hud been o number of arbitration case6 arising out of civil or 941 The text., a8 provisionally adopted on first reading by the Commits ion, reed 88 followsl If a Steto ontore into an agreement in writing with a foreign nat.ural or juridical person to submit to arbitration difference& relating to a [commercial contract] [civil or commercial matter], that State cannot. invoke immunity from jurisdiction before a court of another State which il; otherwioo competent in R proceeding which relater; to!

The laet part of the article, which read “unless the arbitration agreement otherwise provide8’t, indicated that if the partiee to the agraomer:t wished to limit the scope of arbitration to diflerencee arising out of a commercial contract, they could do 80 by inaorting a provision to that effect in tb 9 arbitration agreement. 209. The second point had to do with the wording of subparagraph (c) , to which one Oovornmsnt had proposod adding “recognition and enforcement" of the arbitral award.

analysis: The text appears to be related to international law and arbitration, specifically discussing the scope of arbitration agreements and the limits of immunity from jurisdiction. It seems to be focused on the regulation of commercial transactions and disputes between states and foreign entities, which suggests a connection to international trade and economic development.
