International Private Law and Shortcomings: How Unilateral Restrictions Impact International Private Law
Congress Centre, conference hall D1
Broadcast
The restrictive measures imposed by individual foreign countries have a major impact on all institutions and mechanisms of private international law. In this distorted reality, all the usual rules and principles regarding conflict of law rules, the jurisdiction of courts, the cross-border enforcement of court and arbitration decisions, and international cooperation in civil proceedings function differently. It would be impossible to list all the side effects of foreign sanctions. Alarming examples include: limited access to justice, the disruption of projects, attempts to avoid debts owed to sanctioned persons, and obstacles in the protection of personal non-property rights. What challenges do practitioners face, and what responses can private international law provide to sectoral challenges?
