2020, Haimo Schack, “Das neue Haager Anerkennungs- und Vollstreckungsübereinkommen”, in IPRax, number 1, page 3:Können Vertragsstaaten frei à la carte entscheiden, inwieweit sie sich binden wollen, so entweicht die letzte Luft aus dem mit Art. 2 Abs. 1 HAVÜ ohnehin schon durchlöcherten Anerkennungsübereinkommen. […] Der praktische Wert des HAVÜ geht damit, wie der des HGÜ, gegen null. Doch mag sich die Haager Konferenz für IPR im Glanz eines neuen Übereinkommens sonnen.- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
