O resseguro no Direito Internacional

Abstract

The study describes the reinsurance under international law, starting from the fact of the risks of spraying through the global market to approach relevant issues such as: the difference between international reinsurance and international reinsurance contract, international custom, as evidence of a general practice accepted as law and part autonomy as a base to reinsurance contracts. It is also investigated the sources of international Reinsurance law. The legal relations between the state and reinsurers and contractual relations between insurers and reinsurers should be governed by the utmost good faith. This approach refers to the principles enshrined in International Law Investment as a reference standard for regulating the reinsurance activity and to limit the intervention of the States. It is also described the reinsurance in Brazil, an evolution from monopoly to open market and noting some national initiatives in the use of insurance and reinsurance as a tool for attraction and protection of investments.
