Abstract

The International Private Law in Venezuela is characterized by a variety of sources such as those of domestic and international Law, formal and material sources, coercive and optional, that sometimes hinder the speed in determining the law applicable to the case and legal security of operators of international traffic (stakeholders, judges and lawyers). This article aims to describe the plurality of sources in International Private Law in Venezuela, which involves analyzing the problem and propose some mechanisms to this plurality legislative joints. The research is qualitative and method of legal interpretation, by analyzing documents and legal doctrine. We conclude that the notion of International Private Law sources must adapt to modern times and interpreted in a broad sense, not formal. The special standards development has caused a dispersion law, prompting lawyers to go to jurisprudence and law substantive values. This policy has led to disorder the application of law by appealing to their sense of logic to cover technical and judicial decisions and ensure legal certainty of people.
