Abstract

The methodology used in this research is normative juridical research method. The results of the study concluded that in practice the use of public policy doctrine as a reason for the annulment of awards may be conduct by the country, because if the award is executed it will cause a great jolt in the Indonesian legal system. However, on the other hand, if this doctrine is often used as a reason to refuse an enforcement of foreign arbitral awards, it will also be a negative assessment for Indonesia in the eyes of the world and affect Indonesia's relations with other countries.
