Summary/Abstract: International commercial arbitrations raise considerable interest and the number of disputes resolved before them grows by the day. Parties recognise the possibility of influencing the manner in which a dispute will be resolved as an advantage offered only by these institutions. Although autonomous and independent in their work, arbitrations are still subject to control by courts, carried out through the enforcement and annulment procedures in respect of arbitral awards. This paper particularly analyses the grounds for annulment of arbitral awards, starting with a systematic examination of the most common ones in comparative law. This is followed by an outline of solutions in a number of characteristic national sources of law, both in common law and continental law countries. One of the continental law systems presented is that of Serbia. Special attention is given to the grounds for annulment found in two international sources of law. Finally, the conclusion expresses the positions taken upon comparing the mentioned sources of law.
