Luxembourg - Constitution 1868 (2019) FR

Article 37

Suspension

12 . L’état de guerre suspend, dans leurs effets, sans les rendre caducs, les traités internationaux plurilatéraux n’ayant pas le caractère d’un traité d’amitié . (En l’espèce, Convention de La Haye sur conflits de la loi en matière de divorce du 12 juin 1902 .)

Article 84
Etrangers

36 . L’article 84 de la Constitution réserve aux tribunaux seuls de connaître des litiges portant sur des droits civils; il ne s’occupe point de la question de savoir quelles personnes sont justiciables de ces tribunaux ni surtout de celle dans quels cas les étrangers sont soumis à leur juridiction.

37 . Les faits survenus à l’occasion du fonctionnement d’un service étranger ne sont pas du ressort des tribunaux luxembourgeois à moins que l’Etat luxembour- geois ne se soit substitué à l’Etat étranger.
