Introduction
In India, the enforcement of a foreign arbitral award is governed by the provisions of Part II of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (Arbitration Act). India is a signatory to the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, 1958 (New York Convention), and the Geneva Convention on the Execution of Foreign Arbitral Awards, 1927 (Geneva Convention). While Chapter I of Part II of the Arbitration Act relates to New York Convention awards, Chapter II deals with Geneva Convention awards.
