Hague Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments in Civil or Commercial Matters

The Hague Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments is an international agreement designed to simplify how countries recognize and enforce court decisions made in other countries in civil or commercial matters. It aims to reduce legal barriers and promote cooperation among states, ensuring that if a court in one country makes a ruling, that ruling can be easily recognized and enforced in another member country. This promotes fairness and efficiency in cross-border legal disputes, making it easier for individuals and businesses to resolve issues internationally.
