México y la Convención de La Haya de 30 de junio de 2005 sobre acuerdos de elección de foro

The Hague Convention of 30 June 2005 on forum choice agreements has set a new point of departure to the legal treaties related to private international law codification which have been released during the last years. Its structure and clarity will allow, if entering into force once a second State in addition to Mexico adheres to and ratifies it, that a vast number of legal differences arising from choice of forum conflicts on judgment applications be resolved in an effective manner. Mexico is a country that has a solid legal structure which will allow, not without certain difficulties, to implement the Convention once entering into force. This article is an attempt to describe some key elements of the Convention, through the perspective of the Mexican legal framework, to present some latest developments on the ratification process and to introduce a revision of some global and regional conventions which precede/complement the aforementioned Convention.
