论适用或排除外国法制度中体现的对立统一

国际私法在数百年的发展历程中,一方面强调了适用外国法的必要性和重要性,另一方面又制定了一系列限制其适用的制度,例如识别、反致、转致、间接反致、公共秩序保留、法律规避、外国法内容的查明等制度。本文在对这些制度分析的基础上,提出了应正确认识和理解这些制度具有的双重性,即实质上具有的对立统一的基础——主权国家的利益,当然无论是适用还是排除适用外国法都只能站在国家民族的立场上来作出选择。同时,本文还提出了处理好这一对矛盾的若干看法。

On the Unity of Opposites of Application of Foreign Law or Excluding Foreign Law

International Private law, in its process of development, on the one hand, emphasizing the necessity and importance of application of law, on the other hand, it enacts a series of regulations in excluding the application of foreign law, such as Renvoi, Evasion of law, Public order, and Ascer tainment of foreign law, etc. Actually, these two views are not mutually exclusive. This article, on the foundation of analysizing these two contradictory and contrasting aspects, reachs a conclusion, that is, they are Unity of opposites, their common ground is the interest of sovereign state. In any case, one court merely uphold the stand of its motherland of application of law or excluding foreign law and make a final selection. Furthermore, we puts forward some suggestion in dealing with such a pair of contradictions.
