First South American Congress of Private International Law

The First South American Congress of Private International Law was an international congress on private international law (or conflict of laws) and an ad-hoc codifier forum of international conflict of laws treaties held in Montevideo between 1888 and 1889, in which eight treaties and an additional protocol were passed. These were one of the first treaties on conflict of laws to come into force in the world.
