The article sheds some light on problems that impede the ratification by the Russian Federation of the Hague Convention on the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgements of July 2, 2019. As a result of analysis of the risks and prospects of ratification by the Russian Federation of the Hague Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign judgements of July 2, 2019, the author concludes that there are no legal contradictions that could adversely affect ratification of the convention in question. In this regard it is possible to conclude that these are political contradictions and the Russian Federation’s reluctance to build a cross-border system for recognizing and enforcing decisions of foreign courts that can impede the convention's ratification

O principal objetivo é demonstrar como a cooperação internacional, através das autoridades centrais, permite uma comunicação mais rápida e eficaz entre os Estados partes, beneficiando, deste modo, ao alimentando, objeto da tutela pretendida Abstract This article analyzes the international recovery of alimony, its nature and its procedures, in view of the Hague Convention on the International Recovery of Child Support and Other Forms of Family Maintenance, ratified by Brazil in 2017. The article seeks to study, in the matter of alimony, the process of recognition and enforcement of foreign decisions to which the signatory countries of the Convention are subject. This seeks less an individual and specific look at how transnational sentences are recognized and enforced in Brazil and a broader view on the main aspects of the Convention on maintenance obligations. The main focus is on the objective of demonstrating how international cooperation between the states, through the central authorities, which allows for a faster and more efficient communication between the States Parties, thus benefiting the weak party, the object of the intended protection.

This chapter considers recognition and enforcement under the Hague Convention. Hague applies only to judgments given by a court of a State to which the Hague Convention applies, and it applies only if the court of origin had jurisdiction under a choice-of-court agreement. The position under Hague is different from that under Brussels 2012 and Lugano 2007 since the court addressed is not precluded from deciding for itself whether the choice-of-court agreement was valid and the claim was within its scope. Apart from this, Hague has a great deal in common with Brussels and Lugano, though there are a number of additional provisions in the former that find no counterpart in the latter. The relevant provisions are found in Part III of the Convention. Article 8 lays down the general conditions for recognition; Article 9 provides certain specific grounds for non-recognition and subsequent Articles deal with special issues. Each of these provisions are considered in turn.

International commercial arbitration is often considered the principal method for solving disputes between international business parties mainly because of its final and binding nature. International commercial arbitration is a valued alternative to litigation in foreign courts, while also avoiding simultaneous legal claims in different jurisdictions around the globe. In this context, effective communication among private parties, which is defined as steering clear of potential miscommunications among them in international business transactions, is essential for the negotiation of successful arbitration agreements and efficient international arbitral proceedings. Complexities concerning the communication among parties located in different countries—with different cultures and distinct legal traditions—abound. Such complexities are informative of the main stages of international commercial arbitration, namely, before reaching the negotiation table, during the writing of the arbitration agreement, and after a legal dispute arises. This topic has not been subject to comprehensive analysis, despite its significant impact on the parties’ business needs and related optimization of their interests. In addition, trending relevant issues in the field include the recently signed Hague Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters, the increasing judicialization of international arbitration proceedings, the increasing use of artificial intelligence and empirical studies in international commercial arbitration.

This chapter examines private international law rules that govern orders concerning children, including orders determining with whom a child shall live or with whom he may have contact. It first considers the rules governing the jurisdiction of the English courts as regards parental responsibility matters, the choice of law rules applied, and the different provisions for the recognition and enforcement of parental responsibility and related orders made elsewhere. In particular, it discusses orders granted in another European Union Member State, except Denmark; orders granted in another Contracting State to the 1996 Hague Protection Convention; and orders granted in Scotland and Northern Ireland. It also analyses the relevant provisions of the Child Abduction and Custody Act 1985 and common law rules before concluding with an overview of other important developments including the 1996 Hague Convention and the Council of Europe Convention on Contact concerning Children.

Abstract In September 2017, China signed the Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements. There are no obstacles preventing China from ratifying the Convention. However, the possible reservations China may declare appear to be a key concern for the success of the Convention. This article identifies the key conflicts between the Convention and Chinese law and practice, and analyses the pros and cons of some possible reservations the Chinese authorities may consider when ratifying the Convention. China’s ratification of the Convention would have a positive impact on the global recognition and enforcement of foreign civil and commercial judgments. Although China may have some specific concerns (e.g. national security) in its recognition and enforcement of particular foreign judgments, it is desirable that China adopts a pragmatic approach and minimize the number and extent of its reservations to the Convention.

On 30 June 2005 a Convention to respect choice of court agreements was finally born. The Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements aspires to be parallel to the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (1958) (‘New York Convention’). The exception is that if an equally broadly accepted convention exists with respect to choice of court agreements,1 business parties will have an alternative to choosing arbitration in their contracts. If they have the assurance that a judgement will be recognized and enforced in a large number of States, some might be more inclined to insert a choice of court clause instead of an arbitration clause. This assumption has been confirmed by ICC research.2
