In July 2019, after many years of work and lengthy negotiations, the Members of the Hague Conference on Private International Law concluded the historic 2019 HCCH Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments in Civil or Commercial Matters (the ‘Judgments Convention’). One issue of particular focus in the later phases of the negotiations of the Convention was what, if any, judgments ruling on privacy law matters should be permitted to circulate under the Convention. Having acknowledged that privacy is an evolving, broad and ill-defined area of the law and that there are obvious differences in the development and operation of privacy laws and policies in legal systems globally, the Members of the Diplomatic Session on the Judgments Convention determined to exclude privacy matters from the scope of the Convention under Article 2(1)(l). The purpose of this short article is to describe how and why the Diplomatic Session decided to exclude privacy matters from the Convention and to offer some observations on the intended scope of that exclusion.

将隐私问题排除在判决公约之外

2019 年 7 月，经过多年的工作和漫长的谈判，海牙国际私法会议的成员缔结了具有历史意义的 2019 年 HCCH 关于承认和执行民商事外国判决的公约（“判决公约”）。在《公约》谈判的后期阶段，一个特别关注的问题是，应允许根据《公约》传播关于隐私法事项的判决（如果有的话）。承认隐私是一个不断发展的、广泛的和定义不明确的法律领域，并且全球法律体系中隐私法律和政策的制定和运作存在明显差异，判决公约外交会议的成员决定将隐私问题排除在公约第 2(1)(l) 条规定的范围之外。这篇短文的目的是描述外交会议如何以及为何决定将隐私问题排除在公约之外，并就该排除的预期范围提供一些意见。
