Abstract :
Regarding “interim measures” in the UNCITRAL Model Law (amended 2006), the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules (amended 2010), and the Iranian Law on International Commercial Arbitration (1997), it is noted that the Civil Procedure Code remains silent on this matter, leading to differences of opinion and discretionary interpretations among legal scholars and judges. The disputes that arise concern issues such as: • The effects of interim measures on the parties, the arbitral tribunal, and the courts • Their enforcement and guarantees • The distinction between interim measures and other legal institutions Some of these matters are reflected in the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules and national laws, and have also been discussed in legal doctrine. The UNCITRAL Model Law provides for a pre-award authority regarding interim measures.The main subject of relevance is the consideration of interim measures as an arbitral act and their enforcement in both international and domestic contexts. The distinction between primary and ancillary recognition of interim measures is also significant. Based on general rules governing interim measures and a realistic view of their objectives, the possibility of enforcement and recognition of such measures exists, although certain direct and indirect enforcement guarantees—such as recourse to courts for interim measures—remain available.This research, while highlighting some features of interim measures, aims to explore their recognition and enforcement.
