International Private Law Research Institute:The Pushing Force of Statutorization and Codification of International Private Law——Revelation from the Practice of the Development of British International Private Law

成文化法典化是当今国际社会国际私法发展的普遍趋势。素来坚持判例法传统的英国 ,在近 30年来 ,其国际私法成文法也正日益取代判例法的主要地位。英国国际私法的变化主要是各种国际私法研究机构推动的结果。英国的实践对我国国际私法立法发展有启示意义 :必须加强中国国际私法学会的工作 ,发挥其在国际私法改革中的骨干作用 ;积极参加统一国际私法的各种国际组织的立法活动及其制定的公约 ,采纳国际社会的普遍实践 ;以“普遍主义”作为我国国际私法法制建设的指导思想 ,加大国际私法改革中的对外开放度。

Statutorization and codification is a prevalent trend of the development of international private law in current international community. In the last 30 years in Great Britain, a country sticking to the tradition of case law, the statute of international private law has increasingly substituted for the case law. The changes in British international private law are caused by the promotion of the research institutes of international private law all over the world. The British practice possesses the revelation to the development of the legislation of international private law in China, the significance of which is as follows: the work of Chinese International Private Law Association shall be strengthened to play its key role in the reform of international private law; to participate in the legislative activities initiated by all kinds of international organizations to unify the international private law; to adopt the prevalent practice of international community; to enlarge the openness to foreign countries in the reform of international private law by using 'universalism' as the guideline for the construction of legal system in respect of international private law.
