The purpose of this article is to clarify the essence of international labor law (transnational labor law). This article presents and analyzes the relationship of international labor law with public international law and national labor law. The article also focuses on the possibility of considering it as a complex field. The article emphasizes the importance of introducing international labor law as a subject in higher education. The article quotes and discusses the opinions of various scholars regarding whether international labor law is a field of public law or private law, a sub-field of international law or private international law, etc. Subjects and sources of international labor law regulation were defined to determine the attitude towards a specific field of law. This article states that national labor law should be in line with the goals of the International Labor Organization to reduce social inequality, to regulate and protect labor and associated labor relations in accordance with international labor standards and universally recognized human rights. It has been suggested that while international labor law is a branch of public law, it is closely related to private law, in particular, to the national labor law. Other conclusions have been made in this article based on the research methods.

Jurisdiction is the foundational concept for both national laws and international law as it provides the link between the sovereign government and its territory, and ultimately its people. The internet challenges this concept at its root: data travels across the internet without respecting political borders or territory. This book is about this Jurisdictional Challenge created by internet technologies. The Jurisdictional Challenge arises as civil disputes, criminal cases, and regulatory action span different countries, rising questions as to the international competence of courts, law enforcement, and regulators. From a technological standpoint, geography is largely irrelevant for online data flows and this raises the question of who governs “YouTubistan.” Services, communication, and interaction occur online between persons who may be located in different countries. Data is stored and processed online in data centres remote from the actual user, with cloud computing provided as a utility. Illegal acts such as hacking, identity theft and fraud, cyberespionage, propagation of terrorist propaganda, hate speech, defamation, revenge porn, and illegal marketplaces (such as Silkroad) may all be remotely targeted at a country, or simply create effects in many countries. Software applications (“apps”) developed by a software developer in one country are seamlessly downloaded by users on their mobile devices worldwide, without regard to applicable consumer protection, data protection, intellectual property, or media law. Therefore, the internet has created multi-facetted and complex challenges for the concept of jurisdiction and conflicts of law. Traditionally, jurisdiction in private law and jurisdiction in public law have belonged to different areas of law, namely private international law and (public) international law. The unique feature of this book is that it explores the notion of jurisdiction in different branches of “the” law. It analyses legislation and jurisprudence to extract how the concept of jurisdiction is applied in internet cases, taking a comparative law approach, focusing on EU, English, German, and US law. This synthesis and comparison of approaches across the board has produced new insights on how we should tackle the Jurisdictional Challenge. The first three chapters explain the Jurisdictional Challenge created by the internet and place this in the context of technology, sovereignty, territory, and media regulation. The following four chapters focus on public law aspects, namely criminal law and data protection jurisdiction. The next five chapters are about private law disputes, including cross-border B2C e-commerce, online privacy and defamation disputes, and internet intellectual property disputes. The final chapter harnesses the insights from the different areas of law examined.


Chapter 3, after describing general principles of international law and the relationship between international law and domestic law, focuses on the hitherto neglected subject of private commercial law conventions. Textbooks on international law invariably focus on public law treaties. By contrast this chapter addresses issues relating to private law conventions. It goes through the typical structure of a private law convention, the interpretation of conventions and the treatment of errors, and the enforcement of private conventional rights against States. The subject of private law conventions and public law has become of increasing importance with the appearance in several private law instruments of provisions of a public law nature designed, for example, to ensure that creditors’ rights are not enforced in a manner that adversely affects the public interest or State security. Reservations and declarations are also discussed, together with the subject of conflicts between conventions.

AbstractThis article analyses the relationship of the proposed Common European Sales Law (CESL) and the rules on mandatory and overriding provisions in private international law. The author argues that the CESL will not achieve its stated aim of taking precedence over these provisions of national law and therefore not lead to an increase in cross-border trade. It is pointed out how slight changes in drafting can overcome the collision with mandatory provisions. The clash with overriding mandatory provisions, the author argues, should be taken as an opportunity to rethink the definition of these provisions.

It is a remarkable circumstance that with a few honourable exceptions all writers on international law in general and treaty law in particular focus exclusively on public law treaties. Private law conventions, including those involving commercial law and the conflict of laws, simply do not come into consideration. Yet such conventions, like public law conventions, are treaties between States and are governed by the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties and many of them are of great significance. Their distinguishing feature is, of course, that while only States are parties, private law conventions deal primarily, and often exclusively, with the rights and obligations of non-State parties. So while the treaty is international it does not for the most part commit a Contracting State to any obligation other than that of implementing the treaty in domestic law by whatever method that State's law provides, if it has not already done so prior to ratification.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the interplay between international public and private law and national law, and to provide an assessment of the theory of public and private law and its interrelationship.Private international law is closely linked to public international law. However, if public international law is an autonomous system of law, then private international law is an integral part of national law, since it governs cross-border private law relations.The objectives of the study stem from its purpose, namely:to clarify the nature and understanding of international public and private law; to clarify the relationship between international public and private law and national (internal) law. The object of the research is the problems of the relation and interrelation of international public and private law.As a result of the study, several conclusions were drawn, which are as follows: 1) public international law is an independent legal system, but private international law is an integral part of national law; 2) there is a relationship between public international law and private international law; 3) general theoretical categories and concepts are partly incompatible with the nature of both international public and private international law; 4) the value, validity, and credibility of contemporary theoretical research in international law largely depends on the inclusion of relevant categories andThe following methods have been used in the research: analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, abstracting, generalization, analogy, idealization, formalization, axiomatic method, systematic and historical research.

The position between workers and workers in labor law always places an unbalanced position, where the position of workers will always be in a weak position. In the dispute over industrial relations disputes regulated in Law Number 2 of 2004 the basis for evidence is based on Article 163 HIR (Herzien Indonesis Reglement)/ 283 RBg (Rechtsreglement Buitengewesten) / 1865 BW (burgerlijk wetboek voor Indonesie). The provisions of this Article give rise to injustice about the reverse evidence that has been established by the International Labor Organization (ILO) through international labor standards and other ILO legal instruments regarding reverse proof in cases of dismissal, Freedom of Association, and Equality in Employment and Occupation. This research utilizes a juridical normative, descriptive approach and is supported by case studies as data support, and an analysis is carried out based on qualitative methods and legal comparisons.

Introduction. The paper is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of the inheritance of deceased property in private international law. The concept of “foreclosed property” is defined. The relationship between the terms “foreclosed property” and “dead heritage” has been clarified. Purpose. In private international law there are two theories (principles) of acquisition of ownership of foreclosed property: the theory of occupation and the theory of inheritance. The essence of each of the approaches to the inheritance of property by the state in private international law is clarified. The list of countries where the “principle of occupation of foreclosed property” is enshrined in law and the countries that apply the theory of inheritance on the principle of the closest connection. Results. The opinions of scientists on the expediency of applying each of the principles have been studied. It has been found that the most effective way to overcome conflicts over the inheritance of foreclosed property between states is through international agreements. In all international treaties governing the relations of inheritance with a foreign element in which Ukraine participates, the same solution to the issue of inheritance of foreclosed property by the state is enshrined. Movable property shall become the property of the Contracting Party of which the testator was a national at the time of death, and immovable property shall become the property of the Contracting Party in whose territory it is located. Conclusion. It is concluded that the application of the third principle of inheritance of foreclosed property in private international law – the “principle of splitting the hereditary statute”.
