		comitas, courtesy, from cemis, friendly, courteous), friendly or courteous behaviour; a term particularly used in international law, in the phrase "comity of nations," for the courtesy of nations towards each other.
		This has been held by some authorities to be the basis for the recognition by courts of law of the judgments and rules of law of foreign tribunals (see International Law, Private).
		"Comity of nations" is sometimes wrongly used, from a confusion with the Latin comes, a companion, for the whole body or company of nations practising such international courtesy.

		Comity Is Not a Basis for Dismissing the Complaint.

		Comity is the legal doctrine under which countries recognize and enforce each others' legal decrees.
		Courts of justice in one state will, out of comity, enforce the laws of another state, when by such enforcement they will not violate their laws or inflict.
		But when those laws clash and interfere with the rights of citizens, or the laws of the countries where the parties to the contract seek to enforce it, as one or the other must give way, those prevailing where the relief is sought must have the preference.

	Prepared Statement of the Federal Trade Commission presented by Robert Pitofsky
		For positive comity to be an effective means of redressing harm from foreign anticompetitive practices, antitrust enforcement authorities must agree to help each other by taking on, and giving due priority to, cases that involve anticompetitive conduct in their own territory that inflicts harm in other countries.
		Although positive comity may be a valuable tool, it is important to recognize that it is a small piece in a developing mosaic that reflects broad cooperation in antitrust enforcement among the United States and its major trading partners.
		Thus, during the course of an investigation pursuant to a positive comity referral, we may ask whether the referral is proceeding as expected, and even whether we should consider terminating the referral and initiating our own case, as provided for by the 1998 Agreement.

		As founders of the Comity, these three nations certainly have a lot of influence (if nothing else, in promulgating the founding philosophy of quietly reasoned debated).
		Furthermore, since the Comity has no jurisdiction over anything except the forum of discussion that is its raison d'etre, this tends to limit the effect of any dominating influence.

	Music Review: Comity - As Everything is a Tragedy – Wogbog’s Journal – Users at Last.fm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The album is one gigantic, 55-minute long epic of a song (their first album was a concept album with the 7 songs divided into 7 songs, so this level of ambition is nothing new for the French band).
		Comity’s As Everything is a Tragedy is also a critic’s nightmare.
		In fact getting through the album’s 55 minutes of unrelenting frustration, pain and anger is a harrowing experience; Neurosis and Converge have moments of brilliant catharsis interspersed within their music’s storm of negativity, Comity do not opt for that path.

	SSRN-Comity and Sovereign Debt Litigation: A Bankruptcy Analogy by Stephen Bainbridge
		Using standard game theory methodology (the so-called "creditors dilemma" variant of the famous "prisoners dilemma"), the article argues that creditors of such debtors would agree in advance to give effect to such a moratorium provided it neither repudiated the sovereign's debts not gave preference to certain creditors.
		A legal test for granting comity to sovereign debt moratoria is therefore proposed.
