Answer ... Arbitral awards are recognised in Bahrain as binding, irrespective of the country in which they were made (as long as that country is a signatory to the New York Convention). A party seeking enforcement of an award should make a written application for enforcement, enclosing the original or a copy of the award, to the Bahraini Civil High Court. Available methods of enforcement include:

• issuing an attachment order on property;
• ordering the forced sale of property subject to the attachment order;
• ordering the payment of amounts under the judgment;
• collecting payment and transferring it to the successful party;
• authorising the use of force, where required;
• seeking assistance from the police, if necessary;
• ordering the arrest of the debtor;
• levying a distraint on the debtor’s property (including stocks and bonds) in order to satisfy the debt; and
• ordering the sale of any property (movable and immovable) by public auction.
