UN Convention on the International Sale of Goods

The UN Convention on the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is an international treaty that provides a uniform set of rules for contracts related to the sale of goods between businesses in different countries. Its purpose is to facilitate international trade by reducing legal uncertainties and harmonizing sales laws. The CISG covers aspects such as contract formation, obligations of buyers and sellers, and remedies for breach of contract. By adopting this convention, countries aim to create a consistent framework that makes cross-border transactions simpler and more predictable for all parties involved.
