《联合国国际货物销售合同公约》在我国的优先适用性

Application of United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods in China

《联合国国际货物销售合同公约》(CISG)在我国具有优先适用性,除非当事人“明确”排除CISG的适用,否则我国法院理应直接且优先适用CISG裁决国际货物销售合同案件。本文认为:针对CISG未尽事宜的法律适用问题,应有所区分:对于内部未尽事宜,应首先遵从意思自治原则来确定准据法,然后根据CISG的“一般原则”或冲突法规范确定应当适用的法律;而对于外部未尽事宜,则应该直接根据冲突规范确定应当适用的准据法。

The"United Nations Contract for the International Sale of Goods"(CISG)has priority applicability in China.Unless the parties"explicitly"exclude the application of CISG,Chinese courts should directly and preferentially apply CISG to arbitrate international sales contract cases.This paper argues that:For matters not covered by the CISG,the governing law shall be determined first in accordance with the principle of autonomy of will,and then the applicable law shall be determined according to the“general principles”of CISG or conflict of laws norms;For external matters not covered,the applicable law shall be determined directly based on the conflicting norms.
