Abstract

Traditionally, the enforcement of the arbitral awards relies on the voluntary performance of the parties as they have promised when they submitted their disputes to arbitration. According to a French author, about 90% ICC awards have been executed voluntarily. However, the enforcement of the arbitral awards is not obligatory. In fact, the unfavorable party can challenge the concerned award before the courts. Meanwhile, the other party that wins can also go to a judge to apply for the compulsory enforcement of the arbitral award if the losing party does not perform it voluntarily. From then on, the arbitral award is no longer completely independent of the laws of the territory where the award is relied upon because the judge will use the laws to review the concerned award. Once the arbitral award is presented in front of a judge, it is subject to the national jurisdictions. Thus, it is very important to have knowledge of the laws of the territory where the arbitral awards are to be executed. After all, no one would like to take the risk that after spending all the money and time for the arbitration, an arbitral award cannot finally be enforced or even is set aside by the courts.
