In the matter of the recognition of foreign judgments, the question of selectivity led the Hague Conference, at its April, 1966, special session, to prepare a proposed draft of a multilateral convention with a “bilateralization” clause.

Further, the International (Borne) Institute for the Unification of Private Law circulated in December, 1966, a draft convention providing a uniform law on the form of wills. The foreword says that the purpose is to go “beyond the provisions finally agreed on at The Hague.“
