The article also describes the role of the Commercial Dispute Resolution Tribunal established in accordance with Sultani Decree 79/81 and how Omani legislation regulates the enforcement of foreign arbitral awards under the 1958 New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards to which Oman acceded in 1999.
