Abstract
Over the last few years, Russia has engaged in undermining the international arbitration system. This pattern culminated in a landmark ruling by the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation on July 26, 2024, effectively restricting the enforcement of international arbitration awards against Russian parties when rendered by arbitrators from “unfriendly” states. The path to this decision began with Russia’s 2020 amendments to its Arbitrazh (Commercial) Procedure Code. The addition of Article 248 allows the courts to assume jurisdiction over disputes covered by an arbitration agreement,[3] where the agreement becomes unenforceable due to “obstacles in access to justice”.
The print edition of the issue has also been released. This post was originally published on the Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution website on December 4, 2024.
