The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) has become the key framework for drafting international sales contracts and resolving resulting disputes. The remarkable progress of this epoch-making uniform international law calls for a new edition (the fifth) of the late Professor Honnold’s preeminent commentary, now issued under the authoritative hand of Harry M. Flechtner, editor of the fourth edition and a National Correspondent for the United States at UNCITRAL. Professor Flechtner updates Professor Honnold’s in-depth article-by-article exposition, addressing newly arising issues and taking into account the numerous decisions and scholarly analyses that have focused on the CISG in the twelve years since the last edition in 2009. Also expertly updated is Professor Honnold’s masterly overview of the development and implementation of the text of the CISG, as well as his authoritative insights into the underlying principles and purposes of the treaty. Taking into account the myriad variations among distinct legal systems, the commentary expertly treats all crucial aspects of sales contracts, including the following: delivery of the goods and handing over of documents; conformity of the goods and third-party claims; obligations of the parties; payment of the price; taking delivery; anticipatory breach; instalment contracts; remedies for breach of contract; damages; interest; exemptions; limits and effects of avoidance; preservation of the goods; and risk of loss. The CISG is widely regarded as the most significant body of international sales law and the most successful international commercial treaty in history. This new edition provides tribunals, practitioners, and scholars invaluable up-to-date insights into the meaning of each article of the Convention. The multitude of authorities consulted, many dating from the past few years, will continue to influence the promotion of international sales contract uniformity, encourage the settlement of disputes, and help to reinforce consensus in the application of the Convention.

This publication is a comprehensive commentary on the history, analysis & interpretation of the Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs). These treaties are intended to protect U.S. investment in foreign countries. Although the initial target of the BITs was to develop countries in the third world, the opening of Eastern Europe has led to BIT negotiations in that region as well. United States Investment Treaties: Policy & Practice analyzes the policies underlying the BIT program; describes how the BIT program differs from prior U.S. practice with respect to foreign investment protection; explains the intent of specific provisions in the various model negotiations texts; assesses the extent to which the negotiations of the individual signed BITs resulted in a substantive modification of provisions of the model negotiating texts & thus a departure from the intent of the drafters. This book deals with a topic of increasing interest to businesses with operations in foreign countries & to attorneys advising these companies.

Uniform law For The international sale of goods is now in force in each continent and used by over fifty of the world's major trading nations. The United Nations Convention on Contracts For The International Sale of Goods (CISG) is widely recognized as a landmark effort to harmonize laws governing international transactions. More than a decade after its initial implementation and widespread use in thousands of contracts, tribunals in jurisdictions around the world are reviewing articles of the Convention and citing them in both judicial and arbitral cases. Professor John Honnold, renowned scholar of commercial law, former Chief of the UN International Law Branch and Secretary of the UN Commission on International Trade Law, led the work of drafting and adopting the 1980 Convention on the International Sale of Goods. With the publication of the third edition of Uniform Law for International Sales, Professor Honnold is once again providing tribunals, practitioners, and scholars with invaluable insights into the meaning of each Article of the Convention. As in previous editions, The author offers concrete examples to illustrate practical applications of the Convention, but now he also cites the hundreds of decisions that apply To The Convention. Many of these decisions will influence the promotion of uniformity among countries that have adopted the Convention, encourage the settlement of disputes, and create a consensus for change when application of the Convention seems questionable. The UN Convention on Contracts of the International Sales of Goods has changed the way international sales contracts are drafted and any resulting disputes settled.
