This article is an analysis of the enforcement of foreign arbitral awards in Kuwait, an Islamic nation governed by Sharia law. The need for this analysis stems from the potential conflict between the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (1958) (the ‘New York Convention’) (which came into effect in Kuwait on 27 July 1978) and Sharia law and the need to merge the two into a cohesive legal system. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has a representative office in Kuwait that facilitates the applicable provisions contained therein.
