    Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments and Arbitral Awards in the ASEAN Region

    Citation: [1990] Sing JLS 171
    This paper argues for an ASEAN convention to streamline the enforcement and recognition of foreign judgements within the region. Presently, the countries within ASEAN have different rules relating to the enforcement and recognition of foreign judgements. To standardise these different procedures, the author suggests that an ASEAN convention, modelled generally after the 1968 Brussels Convention and the 1971 Hague Conventions, be established. On arbitral awards, the author believes that a convention would not be necessary if all the member states of ASEAN become signatories of the 1958 New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Arbitral Awards.
