Abstract

This paper discusses two crucial topics in global arbitration: the implementation of foreign awards and the notion of public policy in Brazil. Brazil signed the 1958 New York Convention, and the Brazilian Arbitration Act mimics the Convention’s policies regarding the acknowledgment of foreign awards. The Brazilian Superior Court (STJ), the highest Brazilian Court for non-constitutional matters, is responsible for recognizing foreign arbitration awards (since Constitutional Amendment nº 45 of 2004) and, therefore, is the Court that sets the public policy frame within the country for this matter. In that way, to define what public policy is, or better define what it is not, the STJ’s current jurisprudence is analyzed.
