International private law

International private law, also known as conflict of laws, governs legal issues that involve personal or commercial matters across different countries. It determines which country's laws apply and how to resolve disputes when parties or circumstances are connected to more than one jurisdiction. For example, if a contract is made in one country but involves parties from another, international private law helps decide which law governs the contract and where disputes should be settled. Its goal is to ensure consistent and fair resolution of cross-border legal issues, respecting the legal systems involved.
