The college of law at the University of Baghdad discussed a master’s thesis in the private law of the student (Masouma Hamed Abdul Rahman), tagged with(the legal system for the implementation of international commercial arbitration awards in the light of the New York Convention _ comparative study), on Sunday, 2/6/2024 on the model courtroom at the college.
The thesis aims to simplify the dispute resolution procedures, free from formalities and to avoid any disputes arising during negotiations to conclude long-term contracts.
The thesis included three chapters, the first of which dealt with the authority of the National judge to execute arbitral awards in the light of the New York Convention, the second chapter refused to execute international commercial arbitration awards at the request of one of the parties, and the third chapter dealt with the refusal of the court to execute International Commercial Arbitration Awards on its own.
The thesis came out with several recommendations, the most important of which is to invite the Iraqi legislator to stipulate in the law of pleadings a criterion according to which the character of the arbitration award is determined, inviting the Iraqi legislator to count the writing as a condition for the validity of the arbitration agreement because of the importance of formality in the agreement as it relates to the rights of the parties.
