“…(3) Sovereigns will so act by way of comity that rights acquired within the limits of a government retain their force everywhere so far as they do not cause prejudice to the power or rights of such governments or of its subjects". 34 The third axiom has long represented a controversial point. It is not clear what kind of discretion HUBER envisaged for a sovereign and its courts, or what was the nature and cogency of the obligationif anyto apply foreign law.…”

elsewhere, and stimulated further reflection on the role of the concept, especially when employed by prominent American scholars. 8 This has in turn prompted the revitalisation of comity as a tool capable of alleviating problems of a global nature. 9 II. The Problem of Comity: Definitions and Methodology Nearly all common law courts refer to comity, but there is comparatively little agreement as to what exactly comity is and how it should operate, leading many commentators to be dismissive of the notion. 10 Even among those who are not, views tend to diverge significantly and definitional attempts seem to be doomed at the outset: indeed, one of the most important work on the subject avoids the problem by first explaining what comity is not. 11 Such definitions are important: what use could be made of a notion that "invites intuitive adjudication, and hence litigation-inspiring ex ante unpredictability"? 12 Such was the wariness towards the indeterminacy of the concept that the reporters of the Third Restatement on Foreign Relations Law preferred to avoid the word altogether. 13 Most American scholars still anchor the discussion to the definition of comity offered in the early landmark case Hilton v Guyot. As Justice GRAY put it, comity "in the legal sense, is neither a matter of absolute obligation, on the one hand, nor of mere courtesy and goodwill, upon the other. But it is the recognition which one nation allows within its territory to the legislative, executive, or judicial acts of another nation, having due regard both to international duty and convenience and to the rights of its own citizens or of other persons was are under the protection of its laws". 14

“…Изначально соотнесенный с коллизиями законов [1], он довольно быстро получил «прописку» в научной доктрине европейских государств и использовался наравне с категорией «коллизионное право». Авторы, исследующие особенности английского и американского подходов к построению коллизионно-правового регулирования, как правило, рассматриваемые понятия употребляли как синонимы, переводя дискуссию от одного к другому [2]. Указанный подход актуален и сегодня.…”

Бахновский Александр Викторович кандидат юридических наук, доцент кафедры международного права Северо-Кавказского филиала Российского государственного университета правосудия МЕЖДУНАРОДНЫЙ ДОГОВОР КАК ИСТОЧНИК МЕЖДУНАРОДНОГО ЧАСТНОГО ПРАВА Аннотация: В настоящей статье рассмотрены основания признания международного договора в качестве источника международного частного права. Проведен анализ различных подходов к доктрине международного частного права. Актуальность обсуждаемой тематики обоснована наличием противоположных научных позиций, содержащих мнение авторов о признании международных договоров источниками международного частного права и о недопустимости этого. При условии отказа от международного договора как источника международного частного права из числа регуляторов будет исключено колоссальное количество судебных актов, содержащих результаты толкования международных договоров. В рамках представленного исследования автор детально изучил деятельность международных и национальных судебных инстанций. Кроме того, сделаны необходимые пояснения относительно значимости роли судебного прецедента в урегулировании частноправовых отношений.

Different nations entertain different doctrines and different usages in regard to them. The jurists of different countries hold opinions opposite to each other, as to some of the fundamental principles, which ought to have a universal operation; and the jurists of the same nation are sometimes as ill agreed among themselves. Still, however, with all these deductions, it is manifest, that many approximations have been already made towards the establishment of a general system of international jurisprudence, which shall elevate the policy, subserve the interests, and promote the common convenience of all nations. We may thus indulge the hope, that, at no distant period, the comity of nations will be but another name for the justice of nations.
