论我国对《联合国国际货物销售合同公约》的两项保留

On China' s Two Reservations About United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods

我国在核准《联合国国际货物销售合同公约》(以下简称“公约”)时,对该公约提出了两项重要的保留——国际私法规则保留和合同形式保留。多年来理论界对此有不同的理解:一、对公约第1条第1款(b)项“依国际私法规则导致适用某一缔约国法律”的不同理解;二、《中华人民共和国合同法》(以下简称“新合同法”)生效后,对合同形式保留应否撤回的不同理解。朱榄叶老师曾在《法学》1999年第7期上撰文指出:“我国《合同法》与我国对《公约》保留并无冲突”,犤1犦笔者不赞同这一观点。现就这两个问题作一些粗浅的探讨。

When authorizing United Nations Con vention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods,China put forward two reservations -the ru les of private international law and the formation of the contract.There have been for many years different interpreta tions of them in the theoretical field:(1)different interpretations of the convention' s first term(b)of the first itemthe application of the rules of private international law produces the re sult that is applicable to the law of some contrac ting country;(2)different interpretations of wheth er or not the reservation of the formation of the contract be with drawn after the Contract Law of PRC has taken effect.Zhu Lan -ye pointed ou t in his essay published in the No.7Issue(1999)of Law,There is no conflict between China' s Contract Law and the reservations of the Convention,which I don' t quite agree with.This paper is a dis cussion of the two issues.
