    2019 Annual Report

    H C H C Annual Report 2019 Hague Conference on Private International Law | Conférence de La Haye de droit international privé Annual Report 2019 Foreword In July 2019, the HCCH delivered on Asser’s foresight, delivering what I like to call a true “gamechanger”, by closing a significant gap in the tapestry of international instruments governing private cross-border interactions among people and businesses. The Judgments Convention is further evidence of the HCCH’s pre- eminence in developing innovative, global and consensus- based solutions in private international law. That the HCCH reached this point is to the merit of many and I thank all the experts, delegates and Chairs, who over many years banded together and, in a concerted and highly collaborative effort, crafted a strong framework that does Tobias Asser proud. I thank all my colleagues at the Permanent Bureau who, also for many years, tirelessly and with much ardour and dedication supported this process, culminating in the successful Diplomatic Session in June and July 2019 at which over 400 delegates finalised and adopted the Convention. I begin my Foreword to the 2019 Annual Report by looking back at the previous edition, the Special Edition 125, which So, 2019 clearly was another busy and fruitful year for the HCCH – commemorated the HCCH’s celebrations on the occasion of the but not only because of the Judgments Convention. The HCCH Organisation’s 125th Anniversary. It also recounted the HCCH’s also successfully advanced work on other topical issues, origins and the many achievements of the Organisation since its including the feasibility of establishing rules on international first Session in 1893.

Thorbecke (1798-1872), I.D. Fransen van de Putte (1822-1902) en S. van Houten (1837-1930); onderste rij: N.G. Pierson (1839-1909) en S. Vissering (1818-1888). Inleiding In de jaren 1865-1875 werd door meerdere liberalen geconstateerd dat de liberale partij 'ziek' was. Dat gold ook voor J.R. Thorbecke, wellicht de grootste en zeker de bekendste liberaal van de negentiende eeuw.1 Een dergelijk negatief zelfbeeld lijkt niet in overeenstemming met de dominante positie die de liberalen destijds in Nederland bekleedden. Deze dominantie was terug te zien in de politiek, de wetenschap en in de publieke opinie.2 Niet onterecht heeft Siep Stuurman geconstateerd dat het tijdvak van 1848 tot 1910 een liberale periode was.3 In deze scriptie staat de ontwikkeling van het Nederlandse liberalisme in de jaren 1865-1875 centraal. Volgens de historiografie was er rond het jaar 1870 een einde gekomen aan de zogenaamde Thorbeckeaanse periode. Zo noemt Henk te Velde de jaren vóór 1870 bijvoorbeeld de 'wittebroodsweken' van het politieke liberalisme in Nederland.4 Historici hebben vastgesteld dat er in deze jaren een nieuwe generatie van liberalen was opgekomen, over het algemeen jong-liberalen genoemd.

Er waren weliswaar ministers, maar die waren allereerst aan hem verantwoording verschuldigd. De ministeriële verant- woordelijkheid was dus vooral op de koning gericht. In dit hoofdstuk komt de vraag aan de orde welke plaats de monarchie aan het einde van de negentiende eeuw innam tussen de andere constitutionele machten. Daarbij gaat het vooral om de plaats van de koning binnen de regering en hoe de ministeriële verantwoordelijkheid daardoor werd beïnvloed. Deze verdere ontwikkeling van de ministeriële verantwoordelijkheid wordt geschetst aan de hand van twee gebeurtenissen. De eerste is het debat over het regentschap en de troonopvolging in 1884 nadat de twee kroonprinsen vrij kort na elkaar plotseling waren overleden en koning Willem iii al ernstig tobde met zijn gezondheid. Opeens was in de directe lijn alleen een vrouw als troonopvolger beschikbaar. Omdat Wilhelmina minderjarig was, kwamen de Staten-Generaal bijeen om te zorgen voor een regentschap.

    The Annual T.M.C. Asser Lecture on the development of international law A mission for our time Photo: Tobias Michael Carel Asser Introduction The Annual T.M.C. Asser lecture has been established in honour of the Dutch jurist and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, Tobias Michael Carel Asser (Amsterdam, 28 April 1838 – The Hague, 29 July 1913), and his significant contributions to the development of public and private international law. It is the T.M.C. Asser Instituut’s flagship lecture and its date (2 December) commemorates the foundation of the Institute in December 1965. Mission Tobias Asser was a man with a vision. A man who kept his finger on the pulse of his time, and who managed to shape the legal developments during his days.1 In his Inaugural Address upon the acceptance of his professorship at the University of Amsterdam in 1862, Asser explained that it was his ‘vocation’ to reflect on commercial law and its ‘import’, while ‘taking into consideration the condition of society in [his] century’.2 What we learn from his lecture extends beyond the field 1 A Eyffinger, T.M.C.

Woord vooraf Dit onderzoek gaat over de geschiedenis van de Centrale Commissie voor de Statis­ tiek (1892), de voorgangster van het Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek (1899). Die geschiedenis wortelt in de discussie over de sociale kwestie, één van de grote vraagstukken die het publieke debat in ons land in de tweede helft van de negen tiende eeuw beheersten. Rondom dit debat vormde zich een groep opinie­ leiders, vooral in progressief­liberale kringen, die de belangrijke discussieplatforms beman­­den, de meningvorming beïnvloedden, initiatieven namen voor directe actie, oproepen deden voor (statistisch) onderzoek en de beleidsvoorbereiding ondersteunden. Enkele hoofdrolspelers in dit debat zijn in 1892 uitgenodigd om zitting te nemen in de Centrale Commissie voor de Statistiek, dat opgericht was voor het verzamelen, bewerken en publiceren van statistieken voor de departementen en andere open­ bare besturen. En dat, in de woorden van minister Tak van Poortvliet, uit gesproken bij de installatie van de commissie op 22 november 1892: ‘tot steun van de regering, tot voorlichting van de wetgever, tot bevordering van de wetenschap, tot op heffing van het volksleven.’ De commissie bestond uit dertig leden die ik eerder heb geportretteerd in De macht van de statistiek.

The main obstacle to reaching an agreement, between the Messina Conference of 1–3 June 1955 and the signing of the Treaty of Rome establishing the EEC on 25 March 1957, was France. Agreeing to the project, still referred to at the time as the ‘Common Market’, caused France problems for three main reasons. First, the French thought that supporting the common market reflected a preference for cooperation between the Six, to the detriment of a broader view of Europe with its Franco-British basis, which was still popular among French decision-makers. Secondly, in institutional terms the scheme partly depended on a supranational dynamic which aroused a great deal of mistrust. It was largely due to this dynamic that the French Parliament had rejected the European Defence Community (EDC) in 1954.
