Abstract

Dissimilarities in issues about Private InternationalLawcan damage the political, economical and juridicalperformance of regional common markets. In Mercosulit isnecessary the free movement of judicial decisions and arbitralawards, and acts in the law, whichcan only become possiblethrough the unification of rules of Private International Law byinternational treaties in the scope of Mercosul, and through theemployment of Comparative Law. It has to be understood as abranch of the Law designed to rule and solve, completely, legalrelations which are heterogenic or spatially dispersed, and notas a mere mechanism for the selection of the applicable Law. Itis postulated the employment of Functional Comparative Lawas a mechanism for the elaboration and application ofinternational conventions in the scope of Mercosul, as well asto classify the legal issues.
