Title Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards in Kyrgyzstan: Comparative Analysis and Impact of Recent Legal Reforms
Summary This thesis explores the legal and institutional framework governing the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards in Kyrgyzstan. With the New York Convention serving as the cornerstone of international enforcement standards, the study assesses the extent to which Kyrgyz law aligns with its obligations, while also examining recent legislative reforms. The analysis combines doctrinal legal research with insights from comparative jurisdictions—including the United States, selected EU member states, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan—to highlight areas where Kyrgyzstan’s enforcement practice diverges from established norms. In addition to identifying key legislative and procedural gaps, the thesis considers the broader implications for Kyrgyzstan’s development as a reliable seat of arbitration and its attractiveness to foreign investors. Special attention is given to the country’s evolving stance on the annulment of arbitral awards and the challenges posed by ambiguous definitions within domestic law. The research ultimately underscores the importance of aligning local practice with international standards to enhance legal predictability and investor confidence in Kyrgyzstan.
