Haag´s approach to quantum field theory puts the notion of locality in the middle of the synthesis of quantum mechanics and special relativity. Non-local aspects in quantum theory appear in connection with states. In this lecture we formulate the axioms of quantum field theory in the context defined by a family of von Neumann algebras localized in open and bounded regions of Minkowski space. We will also mention some consequences of these axioms.
