The New Development on the Uniform of the International Commercial Law--On the New Edition of the Principle of International Commercial Contracts

The new edition of the Principle of International Commercial Contracts was unanimously approved by the Governing Council in April 2004. On the basis of the old edition, the new edition added five componets: Authority of Agents; Third Party Rights; Set-off; Assignment of Rights, Transfer of Obligations and Assignment of Contracts and Limitation periods. The new edition of the Principle of International Commercial Contracts was focus on enlargement rather than revision of the 1994 edition. So, it's foreseeable that the new edition of the Principle of International Commercial Contracts would be the new development of the uniform of the international commercial law.
