The International Effectiveness of the Annulment of an Arbitral Award: International Effectiveness of the Annulment of an Arbitral Award

Gharavi provides a keen, in-depth analysis of the sources, legal and practical grounds, and possible solutions of the problem, particularly as it affects international business transactions in the global economy. Dr Gharavi analyzes the relevant provisions in all major international arbitration conventions, as well as national laws on the annulment and enforcement of arbitral awards in force in more than fifty different countries. Among the book's most notable features are the following: With detailed attention to theoretical and practical perspectives—especially as they reveal the dangers to which the enforcement of annulled awards can subject international business operators— Dr Gharavi arrives, after consideration of all interests, at a global resolution aiming to establish an effective and harmonious international legal framework for the control of awards in accordance with the nature and mission of arbitration.
