Article 36

Every UNIONE™ award is reviewed before it is issued.

The Enforcement Readiness Review - built into Stage 3.

After deliberations and before the final award is released, UNIONE™ conducts the ERR - a six-checkpoint review of enforceability, procedural compliance, and jurisdictional risk.

No other arbitration institution does this. It is unique to UNIONE™ and represents the most significant procedural innovation in international arbitration in the past decade.
