    Clouds Over International Efforts to Unify Rules of Conflict of Laws

    CLOUDS OVER INTERNATIONAL EFFORTS TO UNIFY RULES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS KURT H. NADELMANN* INTRODUCTION In this journal which specializes in producing symposia on important topics,' the Spring 1965 issue was devoted to "Unification of Law." 2 The sub- ject then had new actuality. To protect the national interest, state and federal, the United States had decided to join the Hague Conference on Private In- ternational Law and the International (Rome) Institute for the Unification of Private Law.3 Involvement increased with the creation of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL). Today regional work must also be covered. The Organization of American States (OAS) sponsors activities of the "Hague Conference" type. And there are the international agencies attending to special fields such as maritime law and air law. A huge mass of activity is involved. These developments are slow in showing results, but they are generally recognized as necessary. Conventions on important sub- jects are produced. Most of them take effect, between a larger or smaller number of countries. Independent of ratifications, preparation and existence of the instruments often has beneficial effects. Undesirable practices are brought to light and perhaps stopped. The matter appears in new light. The United States is among the countries which have ratified the Hague Conventions on Service Abroad of Documents 4 and on Taking Evidence Abroad.5 The United Nations Convention on Recognition and Enforcement 6 of Foreign Arbitral Awards also has been ratified (for the commerce field). * Research Scholar Emeritus, Harvard Law School. 1.

Introduction Argentina has not enacted yet a Private International Law codification, although some drafts have been worded since the seventies. Only to express a general idea of the legal situation of Argentine Private International Law, we may say that its basic rules in force are scattered in the Civil Code enacted in 1869 and yet in force. There are other provisions included in diverse statutes, such as Company Law (1972, amended in 1983), Bankruptcy Law (1995), Marriage Act (1987), Navigation Act (1973), among others. An important codification was prepared by Werner Goldschmidt in 1974; the Goldschmidt Draft Law on Private International Law was focused on the Choice-of-Law method. The procedural matters were not included in this statute, but in a separate one named Draft Law on Procedural Civil and Commercial Private International Law, for the Federal Courts. 1. Recognition of foreign judgments was regulated in this second Draft Law. Other scholars 1 This Draft Law was approved by the Commission created by Resolution 425/74 of the Justice Minister and was published in Gaceta del Notariado, Rosario, nº 65, 1975, pp.

ENFORCEMENT IN A NEW AGE: JUDGMENTS IN THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO MATTHEW H. ADLER* I. INTRODUCTION Enforcement means "getting the money." It is the most important part of any case, but is usually the most overlooked. Lawyers spend most of their time and their clients' money trying to win the case, and usually give little thought as to whether, if successful, the pot of gold will be at the end of the rainbow. If the litigation is domestic, then assuming a solvent opponent, this confidence is usually justified, for at least four reasons: 1. The United States Constitution guarantees full faith and credit to the judgments rendered by the several states, so that the courts of one state are bound by the Constitution to recognize the judgments of a sister state;' 2.

Enforcement of Judgments in Mexico: The 1988 Rules of the Federal Code of Civil Procedure Jorge A. Vargas* INTRODUCTION For over half a century, Mexico's absolute territorialism' led to the virtual exclusion of foreign law from that country's court system. From 1932 until 1988, Mexican judges applied only Mexican law to cases before Mexican courts, in conformity with a selected number of substantive provisions contained in Mexico's domestic legislation. At the center of Mexico's extreme territorialism was Article 12 of its Civil Code for the Federal District and Territories of 1932.2 This article provided that the Mexican laws, including those which refer to the status and capacity of persons, apply to all the inhabitants of the Re- public, whether nationals or foreigners, and whether domiciled therein or transient.3 The adoption of this rigid territorialist doctrine led to the follow- ing consequences: first, the virtual absence of enacted procedural rules as part of Mexico's domestic legislation in the area of conflict of laws, * Professor, University of San Diego School of Law; J.D., Yale University.

LAWRENCE: REGENTS PRESS OF KANSAS, 1981. pp.258. This comparison of the three systems shows that in every respect except one, the Central American one does not go as far as the others do toward providing a uniform region-wide system of expeditious recognition and enforcement of the judgments of sister states. Although the Bustamante Code regime, which prevails generally in Central America, applies in theory to more different kinds of orders than do the other two, this advantage is more than offset by numerous drawbacks. The enforcement pro- cedure in most of the countries is more complex and cumber- some, the grounds for refusing recognition are more numerous, and the conditions upon which recognition can be denied are subject to more uncertainty and variation than is true in the U.S.

It was also asked to submit its comments and observations about the themes in the Final Agenda for the CIDIP-VII, bearing in mind aforementioned resolution s, and to draft the following report for the appreciation of the Inter-American Juridical Committee during its 67thregular session. 1. Background The first attempt at codification in America was made by the Congress of Panama convened by Simón Bolívar in 1824. Later, the Lima Conferences were held in 1847, 1861, 1867 and 1878 to codify private international law, but it failed to reach any practical result, even though it did good technical and investigation work. In 1877 a Congress of Jurists was held in Lima, Peru, to set uniform rules of private international law, this meeting culminating in the “Lima Congress (1877-1878)”, attended by specialist delegates from Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Cuba, Ecuador and Peru. Also at this meeting a treaty on private international law was drawn up that comprised matters relating to the status and capacity of persons, marriage, succession, jurisdiction in criminal matters, juridical acts, execution of foreign judgments and legalization.

INTRODUCTION' Motions to dismiss on the ground of forum non conveniens (hereinafter "FNC") pose a challenging and fruitful source of legal comparisons. A defendant seeking a FNC dismissal must first establish the existence of an alternate forum that is both "availa- ble" and "adequate." Thus, two pillars on which the doctrine is said to rest require a showing that the foreign alternative forum is "available" to entertain the dispute and "adequate" enough to pro- vide plaintiffs with a meaningful remedy, or at least a remedy that is not clearly inadequate or unsatisfactory. The "availability" issue calls for a comparative glance at the jurisdictional rules governing the scope of judicial competence of the foreign court where the case will be transferred (the "trans- feree" court) after a dismissal on FNC grounds.
