Joshua Olewu and Arinze Ezeagu in their article, Arbitral Proceedings and Award Enforcement in Zhongshan Fucheng Industrial Investment Co Ltd v Nigeria – Revisited, examine jurisdictional issues arising from the enforcement of arbitral award in the celebrated case of Zhongshan Fucheng Industiral investment Co. Ltd v FRN. Cross-border commerce, investor-state disputes, and diplomatic relations are intensifying in associative growth and spread across many jurisdictions. Dispute resolution and challenges associated with enforcing international arbitral awards become more pronounced particularly when state-owned assets are involved. The case of Zhongshan Fucheng Industrial Investment Co. Ltd v Federal Republic of Nigeria highlights the complexities surrounding the enforcement of arbitral awards against state-parties. Amongst other matters arising from this case, is the navigation of international law principles to find sovereign states responsible for internationally wrongful acts. Using a doctrinal approach, Olewu and Ezeagu analyze the Tribunals’ interpretations and applications of the key legal principles relevant to international investment arbitration. The research delves into the dialectics surrounding Nigeria’s resistance to the enforcement of the award and the need for adherence to international legal norms. The findings suggest that while Nigeria sought to protect its sovereignty, its stance poses significant implications for its credibility and reliability in international arbitration. The study concludes by emphasizing the need for legal clarity and consistency in Nigeria’s commitment to upholding international arbitration agreements. This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on the enforcement of transnational arbitral awards and the evolving dynamics of international arbitration obligations.
