Conflict of laws, or private international law, regulates these matters by identifying the relevant law and jurisdiction in situations involving several legal systems.

Challenges In Recognition And Enforcement In International Arbitration

The complexity of cross-border conflicts, variations in legal systems, and the requirement for collaboration between countries present challenges to the acceptance and execution of arbitral awards in international arbitration. Primary obstacles consist of:

1. Recognition and Enforcement in Different Jurisdictions: Legal systems and practices in different nations might make it difficult for foreign arbitral awards to be recognised and enforced.
    
2. Annulment and Setting Aside: When an arbitration's seat annuls or sets aside an award, it might cause confusion and cause delays when it comes to enforcement.

It is the responsibility of the party contesting enforcement to provide evidence for these claims.

4. Pro-enforcement policy's tailwind: Arguments in favour of enforcement, even in non-conventional nations, are aided by the robust U.S. policy backing the recognition of verdicts from international arbitration.
    
5. Obtaining Court Order: In order to enforce the award in accordance with local laws, a court order must be obtained. Jurisdictions differ in this procedure. Even in non-convention countries, it is frequently possible to enforce U.S. arbitral verdicts through the creative use of local laws and the pro-enforcement policies, despite the fact that doing so is more difficult than doing so under the New York Convention.
