Recognition and execution of foreign court decisions in Azerbaijan
At present, there are about 20 agreements in force with Azerbaijan on issues of mutual legal assistance, covering the recognition and execution of foreign court decisions. These countries (Russia, Turkey, Georgia, Kazakhstan, UAE, China, India, Iran, Lithuania, Morocco, Ukraine, etc.) recognition of the decisions taken by the courts in Azerbaijan and their implementation is relatively quick and easy. As for other countries, in practice, the principle of mutual recognition, i.e., while the opposing courts recognize and execute the decisions of the Azerbaijani courts and there is a guarantee at the central state level, the Ministry of Justice of Azerbaijan submits the case to the court and recognition is carried out on the basis of the final decision of the Supreme Court. In all other cases, cases are considered on a separate basis, and it becomes necessary to analyze them first in order to determine the chances of recognition.
As a member of the New York Convention on the recognition and enforcement of international arbitration decisions, Azerbaijani courts recognize and direct foreign arbitration decisions in cases where they comply with Azerbaijani legislation.
