Article V section 2 b) of the New York Convention which embodies the public policy exception is quite commonly described as the weakest and the most problematic part of the Convention. In the thesis at hand, the author analyses this provision and conducts a research to find out whether and why the provision is problematic in the practice of the courts. In the first part of the thesis, the author describes the legislative process of the scrutinized provision. In the second part, author describes and analyses interpretation and application difficulties of the scrutinized provision using mainly various court decisions rendered by the relevant states' courts.
