The time appeared to be particularly ripe in that, following the rise in the number of requests for preliminary rulings submitted under the Treaty of Rome, the European Court of Justice is receiving an ever-increasing number of questions concerning the interpretation of the Brussels Convention on Jurisdiction and the Enforcement of Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters. It was therefore of the greatest interest to the Court to bring together senior members of the judiciaries of the Member States and qualified representatives of the national Bars and famous universities in order to submit to their critical assessment the whole of its case-law. Such was the first aim of the Judicial and Academic Conference held in Luxembourg on 27 and 28 September 1976 in which more than 150 people took part. The Conference was also an exceptional opportunity to give the nine Ministers responsible for the administration of justice the chance to meet - for the first time - lawyers from all the Member States and to obtain an overall picture of the comparative vitality of Community law in each of those States. Three papers were to introduce the discussion on the methods of interpretation employed by the Court. So that the area of criticism should be as wide as poss­ ible three 'rapporteurs' from different environments were asked to present papers. Mr Kutscher, then President of Chamber at the Court, was to bring to the Conference his wide experience of an enterprise in which he has been intimately involved within the Court, whilst two other 'rapporteurs' from outside the institution were also invited to submit their own critical obser­ vations. A prominent lawyer - Mr Duman, First Advocate-General at the Cour de Cassation of Belgium - and an eminent professor from a British 3 university- Mr Hamson, former Professor of Law at Cambridge- were in fact particularly well qualified to present the views of lawyers from both civil and common law countries on the theory and practice of the Court. The lively, deep and varied discussions which followed under the chairman­ ship of, first, Mr Alberto Trabucchi, Advocate-General, and, secondly, Mr Aindrias O'Keeffe, President of Chamber, were based on those three significant documents. The themes were very varied. Approval alternated with criticism, often from the same contributors. At the risk of over-simplifying the discussion, let me refer, among the problems most frequently touched on, to those raised by Professor Hamson in relation to the direct effect of the Treaties as it results from the judgment in Van Gend and Laos and those referred to by Mr Duman, First Advocate-General, in relation to the principle of equal pay for men and women acknowledged in the Defrenne judgment. The time available was, of course, insufficient to exhaust the debate. However, the number, the authority and the diverse national origins of the contributors1 gave great weight to the critical examination undertaken in a remarkable community of spirit. The instructional part of the meeting, to which the second day was devoted, enabled the same audience, which then included the Ministers responsible for the administration of justice of the various Member States, 2 to appreciate the vitality of Community law in all its various forms. 1 Despite the crowded timetable the following participants were able to contribute: Mr Olmi, Director-General of the Legal Department of the Commission of the European Communities, Sir Derek Walker-Smith, Chairmen of the Legal Affairs Committee of the European Parliament, Viscount Ganshof van der Meersch, Emeritus Public Prosecutor at the Cour de Cassation of Belgium, Professor Van Gerven from Louvain, Professor Lando from Copenhagen, Professor Boerner from Cologne, Mr Deringer from Cologne, Mr Monguilan, First President of the Cour de Cassation of France, Mr Touffait, Public Prosecu­ tor at the Cour de Cassation of France, Mr Bellet, President of Chamber at the Cour de Cassation of France, Professor Vedel from Paris, Professor Teitgen from Paris, Mr Catalano from Rome, Professor Monaco from Rome, Senator Bosco from Rome, Professor Ubertazzi from Milan, Councillor Liesch from Luxembourg, Professor Verloren van Themaat from Utrecht, Professor Schermers from Amsterdam, Lord. Denning, Master of the Rolls, from London, Professor Lipstein from Cambridge, Professor Graveson from London, Professor Lawton from Belfast. 2 Mr van Agt for the Netherlands, Lord Elwyn-Jones and Lord King Murray for Great Britain, Mr M0ller for Denmark, Mr Erkel for the Federal Republic of Germany, Mr Guichard for France, Mr Cooney for Ireland, Mr Bonifacio for Italy and Mr Krieps for Luxembourg. 4 It was first necessary to define for the Ministers the various trends which had emerged from the previous day's discussion on the methods of interpretation employed by the Court. That task fell to Mr J. Mertens de Wilmars, Judge. Mr J.-P. Warner, Advocate-General, then traced the evolution of the work of the Court from its earliest days and Mr Gundelach, Member of the Commis­ sion, described the difficulties of interpretation which that body has also encountered. The final stage was to be a survey of the ways in which the Treaties and Regulations are applied in the Member States. This task was entrusted to Mr P. Pescatore, Judge, who spoke, in comparative terms, of the evolution of the case-law of the national courts, the progress made and the difficulties which persist here and there. In a well-documented and penetrating address Mr van Agt, President of the Council of Ministers for Justice of the Community, then sought to describe the development of integration through the case-law of the Court of Justice and of the national courts and to express the confidence of the Member States in those bodies. What conclusions are to be drawn from such a conference? First of all, this novel formula may be applied again in future. It appears to be useful to submit a body of case-law to the constructive criticism of such an assembly, as it may bring about a closer alignment of theory and practice and a closer cooperation between the Court of Justice and national courts. Certain of the latter are ~ven proposing to try the same formula at their own level. Moreover, this high-level conference brought out the essential features of Community law. The frequent emphasis on the need for a uniform body of case-law showed the importance which the audience attached to the basic principles of a single system of law which is common to all the Member States and whose uniform interpretation and application binds their nationals more closely together. It also became apparent that close cooperation between the national courts and the Court of Justice is a decisive factor in the success of Community law. It is, in fact, as a result of several thousand questions submitted by several hundred courts and tribunals that the case-law has developed step by step in an atmosphere of mutual trust and confidence. It is the national court which, 5 by taking the initiative, has been the driving force of that development. Thus the case-law of the Community is both progressive and collective in nature. The results of the Conference to which I have just referred highlight possible future progress towards new developments. Experience has shown that the repercussions of any Community provision, however unimportant it may, be hasten judicial integration - the experience of the Brussels Convention on Jurisdiction and the Enforcement of Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters is the most recent illustration of this; it must therefore be recognized that here is a discreet but effective practical method of bringing about gradual integration whilst other, more ambitious, projects are marking time. In this regard, it would be very easy, with a little imagination, to draw up an impressive list of subjects in which substantial progress might be achieved towards the adoption of a uniform attitude by the national courts. A methodi­ cal examination of commercial law and, on a more general level, of private law, might lead in particular to the discovery of numerous international conventions, for example, on negotiable instruments or commercial sales, of which various Member States are signatories. This list could lead to the extension of those conventions in the Community context, either in the search for identical common solutions or in an attempt by the contracting Member States to elaborate uniform interpretative procedures.

    HUMAN RIGHTS REMEDIES FOR VIOLATIONS OF THE LAW OF ARMED CONFLICT: REFLECTIONS ON THE RIGHT TO REPARATION IN LIGHT OF RECENT DOMESTIC COURT DECISIONS IN THE NETHERLANDS ICD Brief 26 AND DENMARK September 2019 Vessela Terzieva www.internationalcrimesdatabase.org ABSTRACT In recent decisions courts in the Netherlands and Denmark awarded compensation to individual victims for damage caused by the respective state’s armed forces in military operations abroad. The events to which the claims for compensation related took place in situations of armed conflict. Some of these events had been previously qualified as genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Others may be qualified as violations of international humanitarian law. Currently, the state practice on the right to reparation for victims of international humanitarian law violations is not consistent and the existence of such a right itself is a subject of academic debate. The recent court decisions in the Netherlands and Denmark make a significant contribution to this debate and to the developing state practice. They de facto recognise a right of individual victims of international humanitarian law violations to claim compensation directly from the responsible state and clarify the application of international law in defining the standard of wrongfulness under domestic law, showing that domestic courts may serve as a mechanism to enforce international law in situations of armed conflict. These decisions also clarify the criteria for attribution of seconded military forces’ conduct to the sending state and suggest that domestic courts are able to handle large and complex compensation claims related to military forces’ activities abroad. I. INTRODUCTION After the fall of Srebrenica on 11 July 1995, thousands of Bosnian Muslim men, women, and children fled to Potočari, where the headquarters of the Dutch military contingent (Dutchbat), part of the United Nations Protection Force in Bosnia and Herzegovina (UNPROFOR), were located.

  • The Private International Law of the Netherlands
    THE PRIVATE INTERNATIONAL LAW OF THE NETHERLANDS J. OFFERHAUS Of the Dutch Bar, Amsterdam (Continued from the December number.) Torts. Torts are governed by the law of the place where they have occurred. The security of individuals and property within the limits of each territory demand this. On the other hand, when a person within a certain territory performs an act, which the local law does not forbid, his immunity ought to be recognized also abroad. Such freedom from liability was recognized by the court of Amsterdam with respect to a seizure made abroad, the seizure being legal accord- ing to foreign law, but illegal according to Dutch law.75 But the act of a bookkeeper, who had collected money without authority by means of a forged receipt, was regarded as a tort, in accordance with the law of the place where the act had been done. 78 The same rule pre- vails on the subject of collision of ships,77 so far as the provisions of 7 8 the International Treaty of September 23 d, i9io, are not applicable. When a collision occurs on the high seas between ships of different nationality, many systems are possible. A Dutch decision applies the 7 8 ° lez fori " and with this Kosters agrees. LAW CONCERNING RELATIONSHIP Marriage. In general there is a clear distinction in the law of marriage between form and capacity. Many theories are possible in respect to the selection of the law governing marriage and the power to marry; the personal law of the husband governs matrimonial matters in general, and the personal law of each of the parties, their power to marry.

  • Dutch Articles on Rome I (Updated)
    Dutch Articles on Rome I (updated) The last issue of the Dutch review of private international lawNIPR ( Nederlands internationaal privaatrecht) includes several articles on the Rome I Regulation, including four in English. Michael Bogdan (Lund University): The Rome I Regulation on the law applicable to contractual obligations and the choice of law by the parties The Rome Convention of 19 June 1980 on the Law Applicable to Contratual Obligations (in the following ‘the Rome Convention’) will be replaced on 17 December 2009, in all Member States of the European Union except Denmark, by the EC Regulation No 593/2008 on the Law Applicable to Contractual Obligations (the Rome I Regulation) although only in relation to contracts concluded after that date. The Commission’s proposal of 2005 (in the following ‘The Commission’s proposal’), which led to the adoption of the Rome I Regulation after a number of amendments, stated that it did not set out to establish a new set of conflict rules but rather convert an existing convention into a Community law instrument. Nevertheless, the Regulation brings about several important changes in comparison with the Rome Convention. Luc Strikwerda (Advocate-General, Dutch Supreme Court): Toepasselijk recht bij gebreke van rechtskeuze; Artikel 4 Rome I-Verordening If contractual parties have not availed themselves of the possibility to choose the law applicable to their contract (Art. 3, Rome I), the applicable law will be determined according to rules laid down in Article 4, Rome I. Similar to the equivalent provision of the 1980 Rome Convention, Article 4, Rome I is based upon the doctrine of the characteristic performance.

IBA Toolkit on Insolvency and Arbitration Questionnaire – Report of the Netherlands IMPACT OF NATIONAL INSOLVENCY ON DOMESTIC OR FOREIGN ARBITRATION [These questions relate to the effects that insolvency proceedings initiated in the Netherlands produce on arbitration commitments (foreign as well as national/local) involving the insolvent party.] Part I: Impact of Insolvency Proceedings on Ability to Commence or Continue Arbitration 1. Does the law of the Netherlands contain any provision on the effect that the opening of insolvency proceedings produces on arbitration? If so, what is the source of the provision or provisions providing for the effects? That is, are the effects provided by the insolvency legislation as part of the consequences produced by the opening of insolvency proceedings? Or, are they provided by the arbitration legislation or law as a matter concerning the arbitrability of disputes, the capacity of the parties to arbitrate, the validity and effectiveness of arbitration agreements, or any other arbitration-specific category? 1. Insolvency law is primarily contained in the Dutch Bankruptcy Act (“DBA”).1 There are two types of insolvency proceedings for companies under the DBA.2 A bankruptcy procedure (faillissement) is typically aimed at a liquidation of the debtor and distribution of its assets to its creditors (hereinafter referred to as “bankruptcy”).
