Book description:

This book comprises a set of principles embodying what are perceived to be the best solutions to the needs of international commercial transactions specifically designed for use throughout the world irrespective of the legal traditions and the economic and political conditions of the countries in which they are to be applied

Each principle is followed by comment and illustration and is sufficiently flexible to take account of the constantly changing circumstances brought about by the technological and economic developments affecting cross-border trade practice

At the same time, they attempt to ensure fairness in international commercial relations by expressly stating the general duty of the parties to act in accordance with good faith and fair dealing and, in a number of specific instances, by imposing standards of reasonable behaviour.
