The UNIDROIT Principles
for International Contracts: a New Lex Mercatoria?
After nearly a quarter
of a century of research, negotiation and drafting, a working group
representing 17 countries and all the world's major legal systems, received
approval of the UNIDROIT Governing Council for its Principles of
International Commercial Contracts. The ICC Institute of Business Law and
Practice brought together a top level group of international jurists, some
from within the UNIDROIT group, and others who would soon have the
opportunity to apply the principles. The conference papers and commentaries
have been edited to produce this Dossier, which covers topics including the
use of the Principles in drafting contracts, their application by national
judges, and their use in international arbitral proceedings. An invaluable
insight for lawyers, negotiators, judges, corporate counsel and arbitrators
involved in international transactions and dispute resolution.
