UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG)

Thirty years after the approval of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the CISG has become the law of international sales. In the meantime, 76 states have ratified the CISG covering more than two third of the global trade. Despite CISG’s practical importance and its global reach the commentary literature on the CISG in English, is rather limited. This book is intended to fill this gap and to supplement the few existing commentaries by a truly international work which takes into account the various legal settings in which the CISG is applied. The Commentary is designed as a German type of commentary which provides an authoritative ‘Article-by-Article’ commentary on the CISG.
