International private law regulation applicable in Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten and/or the BES islands 2020/2021

The population of the Caribbean territories of the Dutch Kingdom Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten and Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba can be described as a strongly transmigrating population. This means that both domestic and foreign legal practitioners are regularly confronted with a question that can only be answered with the help of the rules of private international law of the Caribbean territories. Identifying these rules is not an easy task: textbooks, journal articles and an overview of relevant (published) recent case law and regulations in this field, are absent. This collection of the written rules of private international law treaties and domestic regulations applicable in the Caribbean territories, attempts to fill a part of that gap.
