The effectiveness of using the possibility of resolving disputes through recourse of international commercial arbitration depends on whole legal policy, as well as on those statutes that establish the conditions and procedure for the implementation of decisions taken by the arbitration. The abstract possibility of applying to an arbitration court in the absence of a real opportunity to obtain execution on the decision does not help to expand the practice of using arbitration courts to resolve their disputes. That is why, by concluding the arbitration agreement, its participants count on the support and assistance of the state in the enforcement of the arbitration award. The article deals with the powers of Russian courts exercised by them while considering the applications for issuing the writs of execution with respect to international commercial arbitration awards. Special attention is paid to the issues of interpretation and application of legal definitions of «public policy» and «violation of public policy» in practice. Upon the analysis of the notions of «public policy» and «fundamental principles of the Russian law» the authors come to the conclusion that differences exist in their contents and meaning. The authors elaborate on the prospective of further development of the law enforcement practice of the State courts in the view of the recent reform of the legislation on domestic and international commercial arbitration and the reform of highest court instances of the Russian Federation. 

Keywords: international commercial arbitration; public policy; fundamental principles of the Russian law; arbitration tribunal; enforcement of international commercial arbitration awards.
