本研究试图通过比较中国和桑给巴尔来考察外国仲裁裁决的执行情况。这项研究的具体目的是根据两国适用外国仲裁裁决的情况确定立法的优缺点。研究还试图为现行制度的改进提供适当的建议。本研究在中国和桑给巴尔两地进行，采用文献回顾作为数据收集的主要方法。本研究的结果表明，在中国和桑给巴尔都有关于执行外国仲裁裁决的各种立法。就中国而言，研究表明，《纽约公约》似乎是包括中国在内的成员国的全球基本文书。研究结果进一步表明，中国的立法涉及民事诉讼法和仲裁法。关于桑给巴尔，研究表明，在桑给巴尔，外国仲裁裁决的执行已庄严载入殖民时代的法律(法令)，即第1号仲裁法令。1931年的16号。研究进一步表明，桑给巴尔在适用外国仲裁裁决方面使用陈旧过时的法律，这表明现行和现代立法在使用方面存在缺陷。研究结果还表明，在中国民事诉讼法和《纽约公约》仲裁法的运用上，以《日内瓦公约》为基础的《法令》的运用显得薄弱。因此，为了提高国外仲裁立法的执行力，研究认为有必要推进和设计国际商事仲裁制度。该研究认为，这一进步可以提高人们的意识，使仲裁法律更加适应商业部门目前面临的全球挑战。

This research sought to examine the execution of foreign arbitral awards with a comparison between China and Zanzibar.  The study specifically aimed to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the legislation based on the application of foreign arbitral awards from the two countries.  The research also sought to offer suitable suggestions for improvement of the current system. 
This research which was conducted both in China and Zanzibar employed documentary review as the main method for data collection.  The results in this research signpost that there are various legislations about the execution of foreign arbitral awards in both China and Zanzibar.  With respect to China, the study reveals that the New York convention appears to be the global fundamental instrument for its member states including China.  The findings further reveal that China’s legislation involves civil procedure law and the law of arbitration. 
With respect to Zanzibar, the research shows that in Zanzibar the execution of foreign arbitral awards has been enshrined in the laws of the colonial era (decrees) known as arbitration Decree no.  16 of 1931.  The study further reveals that Zanzibar uses old as well as outdated laws concerning the application of foreign arbitral awards which signifies the weakness in the employment of the current and modern legislation.  The findings also show that the employment of Decrees which is based on the Geneva Convention appears to be weak over the utilization of China’s civil procedural laws as well as laws of arbitration from the New York convention. 
Therefore, in order to improve the execution of foreign arbitral legislation, the study suggests that there is a need to advance and design the Institutions of International Commercial Arbitration.  This advancement according to the study, could improve awareness and make the laws of arbitration to be more compatible with the present global challenges facing the commercial sector.
