1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods

The 1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is an international treaty that provides a standardized set of rules for buying and selling goods across different countries. It aims to facilitate international trade by clarifying the rights and responsibilities of buyers and sellers, such as contract formation, delivery, and remedies for breach. By applying a common legal framework, the CISG reduces uncertainties and legal obstacles, making cross-border transactions smoother and more predictable for businesses worldwide.
