第三章 国际货物买卖法 周超 2009年9月 Questions: What is CISG? What is CISG’s sphere of application? 第一节 国际货物买卖法律规范概述 一、国内法规范： 大陆法系国家，采用民商分立的，先适用商法的特别规定，没有规定的再适用民法的一般规定；采用民商合一的，直接适用民法典的相关规定。 普通法系国家的国内立法由法院判例和成文法两部分组成，比较典型的是英国 1893年《货物买卖法》（1995年修订）和美国1994年《统一商法典》。 我国适用《合同法》及《民法通则》。 二、国际立法概述： 在1964年海牙外交会议上正式通过了由罗马国际私法统一协会编纂统一的《关于国际货物买卖统一法公约》和《关于国际货物买卖合同成立统一法公约》，这两个公约均于1972年生效。但是由于参加国家较少，没有起到统一国际货物买卖法律的作用。 《联合国国际货物买卖合同公约》 联合国国际贸易法委员会完成了《联合国国际货物买卖合同公约》的起草和指定工作。该公约于1980年在维也纳的外交会议上通过，于1988年正式生效。 U.N.
