论《联合国国际货物销售合同公约》在中国法院的适用

Application of CISG by Domestic Courts of Contracting States

CISG有自己的适用规则并且其适用规则优先于缔约国法院所在国的冲突规则。对包括CISG在内的民商事条约的适用,中国法律的规则不够明确,中国法院在CISG适用上亦存在一些问题。中国法院需要重视对CISG适用条款的引用和对CISG适用规则的语义分析和法律推理,以规范适用分析并对CISG适用规则的解释共识作出更多贡献,同时避免国内法冲突规则的不必要引用,杜绝对CISG和国内法适用顺序的混淆。最高人民法院可以通过指导案例和司法解释的方式来促进前述改进。而最根本的解决之道还是在民事法律制定和完善中对民商事条约的直接适用作出规定。

CISG has its own application rules which prevail over rules of conflict of the contracting state where court locates. For the application of civil and commercial treaties including CISG, the rules of Chinese law are not clear enough, but there are some problems in the application of CISG by Chinese courts. Chinese courts need to attach importance to the citation of CISG applicable clauses and the semantic analysis and legal reasoning of CISG applicable rules in order to standardize the application analysis and make more contributions to the interpretation consensus of CISG applicable rules, while avoiding unnecessary citation of conflict rules of domestic law, and eliminating the confusion between absolute CISG and the sequence of application of domestic law. The Supreme People’s Court can promote the aforementioned improvements by guiding cases and judicial interpretations. The most fundamental solution is to stipulate the direct application of civil and commercial treaties in the formulation and perfection of civil law.
