"This article explores the main features of exceptions to enforcement under Article V of the NYC,
including its exhaustive and discretionary natures. It then specifically provides an overview of
narrow judicial control over the grounds for refusing enforcement under the Article V of the NYC.
It points out the fundamental principles of the provision in determining the enforceability of
international arbitral awards. Then this article will occasionally refer to international arbitral
cases in some jurisdictions, such as the United States, France and Switzerland. It is noted that
courts and legislatures in those jurisdictions have moved towards pro-enforcement policy to
questions of recognition and enforcement arising under Article V of the NYC. Therefore, this
approach is a good signal and a promising development to promote the finality and enforeability
of foreign arbitral awards in international commercial arbitration. This approach can also be a
good lesson for the Indonesian judiciary system in relation to the enforcement and recognition of
international arbitral awards in the future.
Artikel ini menganalisis tentang alasan-alasan penolakan pengakuan dan pelaksanaan putusan
arbitrase internasional yang diatur di dalam Pasal V Konvensi New York 1958, termasuk
sifat limitatif dan diskresi dari ketentuan tersebut. Beberapa putusan pengadilan di berbagai
negara seperti Amerika Serikat dan Perancis menunjukkan adanya tendensi untuk menerapkan
ketentuan Pasal V Konvensi New York secara restriktif. Fenomena ini mencerminkan adanya
kecenderungan dari berbagai negara untuk menerapkan prinsip ‘pro enforcement’ terhadap
pelaksanaan putusan arbitrase internasional sehingga lebih memberikan jaminan kepastian
hukum terhadap pengakuan/pelaksanaan putusan arbitrase internasional di berbagai negara
yang telah meratifikasi Konvensi New York. Penerapan prinsip ‘pro enforcement’ juga dapat
memberikan paradigma baru bagi Pengadilan di Indonesia terkait dengan pengakuan dan
pelaksanaan putusan arbitrase internasional."
