The above statement is followed by this quote from Babel: “Private law rules ordinarily do not direct which persons or movables they include… . They are simply neutral; the answer is not in them. Generally, therefore, what is needed, or even feasible, is not an interpretation of the statute but a rule of private international law to accompany and delimit the rule of private law.” (Citing 1 Babel 95 (1945).)
