This master thesis is intended to give a brief presentation of Hague conventions that bins Slovenia and their role in the Slovenian legal system. The Hague conventions are international agreements adopted by the Hague Conference on Private International Law, which regulate various areas of civil and commercial law, thereby preventing conflict that might arise from differences in legal systems of different countries.
Slovenia is bound by fourteen Conventions, mostly in the field of private law. There are Conventions that relate to civil procedure (Convention on civil procedure, Service Convention, Convention on legalization, Convention on international access to justice, Evidence Convention, Convention on choice of court agreements), family (Convention on abduction of child, Adoption Convention, Convention on the protection of children, Maintenance Convention, Maintenance Protocol) and liability (Convention on traffic accidents, Convention on product liability). Through case-law of the Slovenian courts, I will try to present the Hague Conventions and their integration in the Slovenian legal system. It must, however, be mentioned, that some Hague conventions are applied much more often than others, whereby some of them are applied very rarely or have never been applied.
