The article is devoted to the analysis of main international agreements governing civil and commercial relationships on the territories of states belonging to the Commonwealth of Independent States. It presents a comparison between them. The overview of provisions relating to the conflict of laws is provided. The paper also compares the similarities and differences between those international legal instruments. The reference is made to the provisions on the jurisdiction, applicable law, recognition and enforcement of foreign decisions, as well as to the cooperation among the CIS states in providing legal assistance in civil, family and criminal cases. In the conclusions the author underlines that adoption of the 1993 Minsk Convention on legal assistance and legal relations in civil, family and criminal matters is regarded as result of the process of disintegration after the dissolution of Soviet Union. The fact that only a few CIS states acceded to the 1997 Protocol to the Minsk Convention or the 2002 Kishinev Convention illustrates the reluctance of some states to cooperate closely within the framework of the CIS. In this regard, Ukraine endeavors to pursue the approximation of its national legislation to the European Union law.
