Özet:

 As of 2024, in French law, which has long served as a model for Turkish law, there is still no private international law code. After unsuccessful codification efforts in the 20th century, a draft law was finally prepared by a working group established in 2018 upon the invitation of the then French Minister of Justice and was shared with the public in March 2022. Believing that several provisions of this draft could also serve as examples for Turkish law, we have tried in this study to address some of the key aspects of its first book, titled General Provisions, with a focus on conflict of laws and international jurisdiction. Regarding conflict of laws, the draft includes certain significant provisions, such as a change of system in the application of conflict of laws rules, an explicit allowance for requesting opinions from foreign institutions in ascertaining foreign law, and the possibility for judges to organize cross-examination of experts. In terms of international jurisdiction, the codification of the forum necessitatis rule and the continuation of the jurisdiction based on French citizenship are among the most noteworthy provisions. In this context, in our study, we will first outline the discussions in French law on the need for codification in private international law. Afterwards, we will try to explain some of the key provisions in the draft by comparing them with the current French system, address the opinions expressed in the doctrine on these issues, and finally present our views from the perspective of Turkish law.

 Türk hukukuna bugüne değin örnek teşkil etmiş hukuk düzenlerinden olan Fransız hukukunda 2024 yılı itibariyle halen bağımsız bir milletlerarası özel hukuk kanunu bulunmamaktadır. 20. yüzyılda başarısızlıkla sonuçlanan çalışmalar sonrası, 2018 yılında dönemin Fransız Adalet Bakanının daveti üzerine bir kez daha bu alanda kodifikasyon gerçekleştirilmesi hedefiyle bir çalışma grubu oluşturulmuş ve bu grupça bir kanun tasarısı hazırlanarak Mart 2022de kamuoyuyla paylaşılmıştır. Bu tasarıda yer alan çeşitli düzenlemelerin Türk hukuku açısından da örnek teşkil edebileceğine inanarak, biz de bu çalışmamızda tasarının Genel Hükümler başlıklı ilk kitabında yer alan kanunlar ihtilafı ve milletlerarası yetkiye ilişkin dikkat çekici bulduğumuz bazı düzenlemeleri ele almaya çalışmış bulunmaktayız. Kanunlar ihtilafı açısından bakıldığında, kanunlar ihtilafı kurallarının uygulanması bakımından sistem değişikliği öngörülen tasarıda yabancı hukukun içeriğinin tespitinde yabancı kurumlardan da görüş talep edilebileceğine yer verilmesi ve görüş beyan eden uzmanların çapraz sorguya tâbi tutulabilmesinin açıkça öngörülmesi gibi noktalar ilk bakışta dikkat çekmektedir. Milletlerarası yetki açısından ise forum necessitatis esasına somut bir düzenlemeyle yer verilmesi ve Fransız vatandaşlığı temelli tamamlayıcı milletlerarası yetkiden vazgeçilmemesi önemli noktalar olarak görülmektedir. Bu çerçevede, çalışmamızda öncelikle Fransız hukukunda milletlerarası özel hukuk alanında kodifikasyon ihtiyacına dair tartışmalara ana hatlarıyla değinecek, sonrasında ise tasarıda yer alan dikkat çekici düzenlemeleri Fransız hukukunda uygulanagelen mevcut sistemle karşılaştırarak açıklayacak, doktrinde bunlara dair dile getirilen görüşlere değinecek ve en nihayetinde Türk hukuku perspektifinden kendi değerlendirmelerimizi ortaya koymaya çalışacağız.
