This paper examines the opportunities and challenges of implementing the 1958 New York Convention in Indonesia, particularly regarding the recognition and enforcement of international arbitral awards. Although Indonesia has ratified the Convention, its implementation encounters several legal and practical obstacles. The primary issues include the absence of clear implementing regulations, the ambiguous interpretation of public policy, and administrative delays in the exequatur process. Through legal analysis, this study reveals that despite significant developments such as Supreme Court Regulation No. 1 of 1990 and Law No. 30 of 1999, Indonesian courts still struggle to balance national legal sovereignty with international legal commitments. Therefore, regulatory improvements are needed to ensure the effective and consistent enforcement of international arbitral awards in Indonesia.
