What are the requirements for enforcement of an arbitral award in an international court?

Enforcement of an arbitral award in an international court in Florida requires that the award is subject to the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards. This Convention, also known as the New York Convention, was formed in 1958 and is a multilateral treaty that provides a framework for enforcing foreign arbitral awards in multiple countries. In order to be enforceable, the award must be voluntary and made by a foreign arbitral tribunal. The award must also meet each country’s rules and regulations in order to be enforced in that specific jurisdiction. In Florida, the award must first be requested to be admitted for enforcement, which is done by filing a verified petition with a Florida court that includes the award rendered by the tribunal and a certified copy of the award. Once the award has been admitted for enforcement, the parties may be able to obtain an order that the award be enforced as a final judgment. The party who is seeking the enforcement must also provide evidence that the award is enforceable and that the opposing party has accepted the award or is undeniably aware of the award. The court may be able to accept other pieces of evidence that demonstrate that the opposing party has knowledge of the award. After all of the documentation is properly filed with the court and all applicable requirements have been met, the court may grant the order that permits the enforcement of the award.
