Abstract
SummaryThis article reviews Canada's participation in the international unification of private law and private international law that is carried out by international organizations such as The Hague Conference on Private International Law, Unidroit, the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law, and the Specialized Conferences on Private International Law of the Organization of American States. It describes the new mechanisms that have been established to facilitate this participation, since the conventions developed in these organizations often deal with matters that fall within provincial kgislative competence and thus need to be implemented by the provinces. The new “territorial federal State clause” that Canada has had inserted in these conventions and the federal-provincial consultation mechanisms that have been put in place have been instrumental in facilitating Canada's ratification of conventions that unify private law and private international law.
