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.
