UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG)
A Commentary
Abstract
About the work
Almost thirty years after its entry into force, the CISG has become the law of international sales. In the meantime, 89 states have ratified the CISG, which make up for more than two thirds of the global trade. Already with its first edition, the commentary, written by leading international scholars and practitioners, has established itself on the market as the first truly international commentary on the CISG, taking into account the various legal settings in which the CISG is applied.
Praises for the 1st edition
‘The Kröll/Mistelis/Perales Commentary is an important contribution to the rich literature on this vital topic – a volume that should be in every library that intends to address the CISG seriously, and a work that deserves to be part of even a basic collection on the Convention.’
Harry M. Flechtner, The Rabel Journal 78/4 (2014) 883
‘No collection, related course materials, or decisionmakers’ cache of indispensible materials could possibly be complete without this scholarly, but quite readable, treatise designed for both novices and seasoned reader- users.’
