Private international law

Private international law includes all the rules applicable to the relations of natural or legal persons of different nationalities and aims to resolve conflicts of laws arising from their relations. In particular, private international law establishes rules to determine the jurisdiction competent to decide any disputes, the law applicable to their relations, and to obtain recognition and enforcement of foreign decisions on national territory or national decisions on foreign territories.
