Frequently asked questions
Is every foreign judgment enforceable in Syria?
No. Enforceability depends on the decision, jurisdiction, due process, finality, applicable treaties or reciprocity and public-policy review.
Are arbitral awards treated the same as court judgments?
No. They follow a distinct legal and treaty analysis, beginning with the arbitration agreement and award documentation.
Should enforcement be assessed before major proceedings abroad?
Where Syrian assets are important, early enforceability advice can influence jurisdiction, service and evidence strategy.
