ABSTRACT

Cross-border transactions and the mobility of people have accelerated the circulation of civil and commercial disputes across different jurisdictions, making the recognition and enforcement of judgments a key institutional nexus in private international law that bridges substantive justice and procedural justice. Grounded in the methodology of private international law, this paper examines the generative logic and limiting boundaries of the extraterritorial effect of judgments, surveys the converging trends reflected in multilateral conventions and regional instruments, and further proposes an improvement pathway driven by convention-based and systematized rule-making, anchored in minimum due process and limited review, and facilitated by procedural convenience and digital support, with a view to achieving a more balanced and stable institutional arrangement between respect for judicial sovereignty and the promotion of judgment circulation.

KEYWORDS
