How is private international law applied?

Private international law, also known as conflict of laws, is a set of rules that governs legal disputes between individuals or entities with connections to different countries or legal systems. It is applied when a case involves multiple jurisdictions, international transactions, or cross-border issues. In general, private international law determines which law should be applied to a particular legal dispute, how jurisdiction is determined, and how foreign judgments and arbitral awards are recognized and enforced. Private international law can be applied in a variety of areas, including family law, contracts, property law, torts, and business law. Courts and arbitrators play an important role in applying and interpreting private international law, and international conventions and treaties may also influence the application of these rules.
