Uni­form in­ter­pret­a­tion of in­ter­na­tion­al con­ven­tions in private in­ter­na­tion­al law: An ana­lyt­ic­al study

De­vel­op­ment sum­mary

Lamis Qadir Hadi ad­dresses the frag­ment­a­tion that arises when na­tion­al courts in­ter­pret in­ter­na­tion­al private-law con­ven­tions through do­mest­ic pro­ced­ur­al and sub­stant­ive con­cepts. The author con­cludes that pre­serving the con­ven­tions’ in­ter­na­tion­al char­ac­ter re­quires sep­ar­at­ing their terms from narrow do­mest­ic mean­ings and ad­opt­ing autonom­ous in­ter­pret­a­tion groun­ded in their pur­poses and pre­ambles.
