ENFORCEMENT OF AN INTERNATIONAL/FOREIGN ARBITRATION AWARD
Requirements and Procedures under the Arbitration Law
The requirements and procedures for enforcement of an international/foreign arbitration award in Indonesia are regulated in the Indonesian Arbitration Law (Law No. 30 of 1999 regarding Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution, particularly Articles 65 to 69). Previously, enforcement of an arbitration award is governed by Supreme Court Regulation Number 1 of 1990. The Arbitration Law does not specifically revoke this Supreme Court regulation.
