Samenvatting:

There are numerous practical challenges in the creation and enforcement of international commercial contracts for the sale of goods. Global Commercial Contracts provides an accessible but comprehensive overview of these challenges and the impact of various international instruments on these contracts. This book provides an introduction to the international law relevant to international commercial contracts and describe their effects in practical terms. It analyses the effect of the Convention on the International Sale of Goods (CISG), and the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (PICC), highlighting their differences. The book also explores other essential international instruments including the UN Convention on the Use of Electronic Communications in International Commercial Contracts, the UN Convention on Limitation, Incoterms© 2020, UCP 600, and the URDG 750. The difficult topic of conflicts of laws is also examined and explained. Covering all aspects of international contracts, with emphasis on sale contracts, from formation and interpretation to dispute resolution, this new work fills a gap for an introductory guide on this fundamental topic.
