The aim of this article is to analyse the correlation between the Hague Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgements in Civil or Commercial Matters (hereinafter – Convention, Hague Judgement Convention), Regulation No. 1215/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgements in civil and commercial matters (hereinafter – Brussels Ibis Regulation) and the Agreement between the Republic of Lithuania and Ukraine on legal assistance (hereinafter – Agreement). To achieve this goal, the first part of the article analyses historical models of regulation in the sphere of enforcement and recognition of foreign judgements. The second part of the article defines the scope of application of the Hague Judgement Convention and compares it with the scope of application of the Brussels Ibis Regulation. The third part is devoted to the determination of the scope of the application of the Agreement. Parts five and six analyse the types of ‘relation clauses’ adopted in the Convention and the Brussels Ibis Regulation and define the order of the application of international instruments. The materials used include literature and scientific publications relating to resolving conflicts between international instruments in the field of recognition and enforcement of foreign judgements. The following methods were used to write this paper: description, analysis, synthesis and comparison.
