The author discusses the Convention on Recognition and Enforcement of Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters adopted on 2 July 2019 by the Hague Conference on Private International Law. After tracing the history of the Convention, the author discusses its scope of application, and concludes that although the scope is relatively narrow, it will in return improve the possibility of a more widespread acceptance of the Convention. The author also finds that the rules of indirect jurisdiction are likely to be acceptable globally. Although most provisions have been inspired by civil law, common law concepts have had a significant impact. The author stresses that the Convention together with the Hague Choice of Court Convention of 30 June 2005 should be taken as “a package”. The author finds that the provisions on recognition and enforcement by and large are uncontroversial, as they to a large extent have been copied from the 2005 Convention. In relation to the possibilities under the Convention for States to deposit declarations and reservations, and to make use of the Convention’s flexible bilateralization mechanism, the author concludes that the Convention is based on political realism making the likelihood of success for the Convention feasible.

海牙2019年审判公约-从失败到成功？

作者讨论了海牙国际私法会议于2019年7月2日通过的《承认和执行民事和商业事务判决公约》。在追溯了《公约》的历史之后，作者讨论了其适用范围，并得出结论，尽管适用范围相对狭窄，但反过来，它将提高更广泛地接受《公约》的可能性。作者还发现，间接管辖权规则可能在全球范围内都是可以接受的。尽管大多数规定是受民法启发的，但普通法概念却产生了重大影响。作者强调，该公约与2005年6月30日的《海牙法院选择公约》应被视为“一揽子”。作者发现，关于承认和执行的规定在很大程度上没有争议，因为这些规定在很大程度上已从2005年公约中复制而来。关于《公约》赋予各国交存声明和保留的可能性，以及利用《公约》灵活的双边化机制的可能性，作者得出结论，《公约》基于政治现实主义，使《公约》获得成功的可能性成为可能。
