Comity of nations (International
Law), the courtesy by which nations recognize within
their own territory, or in their courts, the peculiar
institutions of another nation or the rights and privileges
acquired by its citizens in their own land. By some authorities
private international law rests on this comity, but the better
opinion is that it is part of the common law of the land, and
hence is obligatory as law.
