Abstract

This article focuses on the problem of joining the Hague Convention choice of Court 2005 Agreement. Of the Regional Economic Integration Organisations (REIOs) according to Article 29 and Article 30 the guidelines provide a comparative study of the EU and ASEAN of competence with rights and duties in an international way. The European Union joined the Convention as a regional economic integration organization and made a declaration in accordance with Article 21 on jurisdiction and recognizing and enforcing foreign court judgments in civil and commercial cases, therefore, can ASEAN as a regional international organization be subject to such criteria as of the Hague Convention? As well as being able to declare jurisdiction acceptance and enforcement of foreign court judgments in civil and commercial cases as the European Union makes announcements or not? It was found that although the status of ASEAN was subject to Article 29, ASEAN lacked clarity on the case for implementing its obligations.
