Enforceability has historically been perceived as arbitration’s greatest advantage. Yet, in an era where the enforceability of arbitral awards faces unprecedented challenges, trust in the system’s efficacy is eroding. Delays and jurisdictional hurdles, together with arbitrary interpretations of public policy and the enactment of local legislation that allows parties to evade liability under awards, call for a concerted response from the arbitration community to ensure the sustainability of the system. The speakers will share perspectives from different jurisdictions, exchange views on current threats to enforceability, and propose legal reforms—such as the creation of new international instruments—while also discussing lessons from high-profile enforcement successes (and failures).
