Best used for

Any cross-border transaction where the counterparty's assets are in jurisdictions with historically complex enforcement environments - particularly India, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, and other markets where New York Convention enforcement has encountered procedural delays.

Drafting Notes & Guidance

The key addition in this clause is the explicit listing of enforcement jurisdictions in the clause itself. This instructs UNIONE™'s Award Review Committee, from the moment of filing, to orient the entire ERR process toward those specific jurisdictions. The result is a Certificate that provides actionable, jurisdiction-specific enforcement guidance - not a generic enforceability assessment.
