Review of the Convention of the Sale of International Goods (1999-2000)

Nations in all the regions of the world today share a common international sales law - the United Nations Convention of the International Sale of Goods (CISG). The Convention was prepared by the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) and adopted by a diplomatic conference on 11 April 1980. Since then, the number of countries that have adopted the CISG account for over two-thirds of all world trade. The area of international sales law continues to grow as technology and development takes us to a global economy. As such, the study of the CISG has become an integral component of this ever-growing area of international commercial law. The Pace International Law Review edits the Review of the Convention of the International Sale of Goods (CISG), a book published by Kluwer Law International. The Review of the CISG is published once yearly and features articles written by prominent legal scholars in the field of international sale of goods from around the world. In addition to scholarly writings analyzing the various articles of the CISG, the book seeks to compile translations of recent decisions as well as commentaries of notable cases relating to the CISG. The review of the CISG aims to provide both a forum for legal discussion within the international legal community in the area of international sales law and an authoritative source of reference for international scholars.
