On 1 June 2013 the 1996 Hague Convention on Jurisdiction, Applicable Law, Recognition,
Enforcement and Co-operation in Respect of Parental Responsibility and Measures for the
Protection of Children came into force. It provides for the recognition and enforcement of
foreign measures for the protection of a child or his or her property. One of the original
provisions previously not found in the international treaties of the Russian Federation is the
possibility of preventive recognition of a foreign measure, which may require enforcement in
the future (Art. 24). This option differs from objections against recognition known to Russian
law and may be useful in international relocation cases and for cross-border contacts with
a child. The article reveals the essence and significance of preventive recognition (nonrecognition).
However, the implementation of the Convention in Russia, unlike some other
States parties, was reduced to the designation of a Central Authority. Russian civil procedural
legislation was not amended. This raises issues concerning the application of the mechanism
set down in Article 24 of the Convention. The author proposes to apply mutatis mutandis
the provisions of Chapter 45 of the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation and to
grant an exequatur in simple procedure taking into account earlier court examination and
conclusion of the absence of grounds for non-recognition.
Keywords: the 1996 Hague Convention; recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments;
advance recognition of foreign measure; jurisdiction to grant advance recognition; custody
order and contact order.
