Understanding The CISG In Europe: A Compact Guide To The 1980 United Nations Convention On Contracts For The International Sale Of Goods

by Herbert Bernstein

More than 60 countries, accounting for more than two-thirds of all world trade, have ratified the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). Through a comparison and contrast with domestic law, the authors explain the CISG in terms familiar to European jurists. Because the CISG treaty demands an international interpretation, the authors draw heavily upon a broad base of CISG decisions, arbitral awards and doctrine from around the world. This completely revised and expanded "Second Edition includes an account of the most significant CISG decisions reported during recent years. Concrete examples are provided throughout. The English language text will help European jurists to better communicate about CISG problems across language barriers.
