Принципы международного частного права

Abstract

The present paper explores the principles of international private law. The lack of precise definitions of the said principles adversely affects the development of international law as a science. Likewise, it has a negative effect on legislative and law enforcement practice. The author objects to the mechanical extension of international public law principles to cover international private law, considering that the latter field of law has its own guiding principles. The study produced a special system of principles which, according to the author, underlie the regulation of private law relations with an international aspect. These principles reflect the main doctrinal and legislative provisions in the sphere of international private law and can serve as a starting point for further study on fundamental issues of international private law.
