Supporters of the FAA argue that since it’s not broken, why fix it? They contend that most of the nations which have adopted the Model Law had limited experience and history with arbitration and, prior to adopting the Model Law, played a minor role in the international arbitration community. They also note that the United States now has over 80 year experience using, and case law interpreting the FAA, which could be lost if it was replaced with the Model Law. In the words of one commentator, ‘adoption of the UNCITRAL Model Law is not only unnecessary to maintain the United States’ leading position in international arbitration, but would be detrimental to the effectiveness of international arbitration in the United States’.
