Permanent Bureau of the Hague Conference on Private International Law

(aa) Conference on the private international law issues raised by electronic commerce sponsored by the Hague Conference on Private International Law (The Hague, the Netherlands 25 28 October 2004)

(i) Law means the law in force in a State other than its rules of private international law

Under private international law, that would seem to be a perfectly reasonable solution, but the draft convention would be applied by people who were not necessarily experts in private international law.

Including that of other international organizations, such as the Hague Conference on Private International Law.

If two private parties concluded a contract electronically, the rules of private international law would apply, i.e. the law of an individual country not of an REIO.

Ms. Schulz (Observer for the Hague Conference on Private International Law) noted that the Commission had decided that the draft convention would apply where the rules of private international law led to the application of the law of a Contracting State.

Agenda item 158 Observer status for the Hague Conference on Private International Law in the General Assembly (continued)

It would add a level of complexity not previously incorporated in private law conventions, and absent actual significant problems in the field of private international law, which we believe do not exist, should not be included.

1992 1996 Private Law Practice

If the Commission chose to address the issue, it might be criticized for exceeding its private international law mandate.

Most United Nations treaties related to public international law, but the Treaty Section was aware that it had become accepted practice in private law conventions for States to adjust individual provisions by declaration, since such conventions applied only to private contracts.

International private law conventions have since the 1970s employed treaty authorized declarations which adjust particular provisions only as to that State.

The Chairman said that the practice of allowing declarations under private international law conventions was to leave scope for party autonomy.

Since a number of other organizations were working on related projects or had an institutional interest in that field, the Working Group was coordinating its work with those organizations, which included the Hague Conference on Private International Law, the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law and the World Intellectual Property Organization.

Ms. Schulz (Observer for the Hague Conference on Private International Law) expressed strong support for the proposal by the delegation of Japan.

We believe the common provision of twelve (12) months for withdrawal is appropriate here as it has been in other international private law instruments.

In light of the mandate of the Hague Conference to work for the progressive unification of private international law rules the Permanent Bureau has closely examined the references to private international law which are contained in the draft Convention on the Use of Electronic Communications in International Contracts (hereinafter E Contracting Convention ) and the Note by the Secretariat (A CN.9 577 Add.1 hereinafter Note ).

Although multilateral treaties guaranteeing private rights were generally honoured, the decisions on private law treaties are inconsistent.

(ii) The draft convention of the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law on international interests in mobile equipment and the preliminary draft protocol thereto on matters specific to space property

Mr. Burman (United States of America) said that the travaux préparatoires of the Vienna Convention showed that the Convention did not apply to private international law.

In addition, the Commission emphasized the importance of coordination with organizations with interest and expertise in the field of secured transactions law, such as Unidroit, the Hague Conference on Private International Law, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, EBRD and the Asian Development Bank.

Such situations are governed not by international humanitarian law, but by international human rights law, domestic law and, perhaps, international criminal law.
