19th Diplomatic Session of the Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH) unanimously adopted the Convention on the Law Applicable to Certain Rights in Respect of Securities Held with an Intermediary (the Hague Securities Convention or the Convention)." This convention aims to address legal uncertainty in cross-border securities transactions.
* Result21 lists "Conventions and other Instruments" on the HCCH website.
-
UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (UNIDROIT Principles): Another strong candidate for international commercial law, which heavily impacts finance.
- Result20 and describe the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (UPICC) as a non-binding codification of international contract law, often chosen by parties in international commercial arbitration. UNIDROIT's official website is unidroit.org.
- Result19 also refers to them as a "soft law instrument" aiming to "harmonize the law of international commercial contracts."
-
EU Rome I Regulation: Directly deals with conflict of laws in contractual obligations within the EU, with clear financial relevance.
- Result,18,17,16 describe the Rome I Regulation (EC No 593/2008) which governs the choice of law in contractual obligations within the EU, replacing the Rome Convention. Result15 specifically mentions financial services and instruments within its scope. A good source would be EUR-Lex (europa.eu), which hosts official EU legislation.
-
International Monetary Fund (IMF): Role in cross-border capital flows and financial stability.
I have more than enough sources. I will select the most direct and verifiable links.
Selected External Links:
- Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH): Hague Conference on Private International Law - This is the main body for conflict of laws.
- UNIDROIT Principles: UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts - Directly links to the 2016 Principles which are highly relevant to international financial contracts.
- EU Rome I Regulation (EUR-Lex): Regulation (EC) No 593/2008 (Rome I) - Direct link to the official text of the Rome I Regulation, which explicitly covers financial services and instruments10.
- International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Capital Flows: IMF - Cross-Border Capital Flows - This fact sheet directly addresses the IMF's stance and framework on capital flows, which are often subject to conflict of laws issues.
All four external links are real, live, and from trusted domains (hcch.net, unidroit.org, eur-lex.europa.eu, imf.org), covering more than 3 distinct domains.
Now, I will proceed with writing the article, incorporating these external links and the internal links into the body.
Internal Links Check:
- Jurisdiktion

These look good and are relevant to the financial applications of conflict of laws. I will ensure they are used exactly once.1234, 56789
