Book Description
Harmonised and uniform international laws are now being spread across different jurisdictions and fields of law, bringing with them an increasing body of scholarship on practical problems and theoretical dimensions. This comprehensive and insightful book focuses on the contributions to the development and understanding of the critical theory of harmonisation. The contributing authors address a variety of different subjects concerned with harmonisation and the application of legal rules resulting from harmonisation efforts. This study is written by leading scholars engaged in different aspects of harmonisation, and covers both regional harmonisation within the EU and regional human rights treaties, as well as harmonisation with international treaty obligations. With comparative analysis that contributes to the development of a more general theory on the harmonisation process, this timely book will appeal to EU and international law scholars and practitioners, as well as those looking to future legal harmonisation in other regions in Asia, Latin America and Africa.

Incoterms 2020 Handbook
Author: Lauri Railas
Publisher: Kluwer Law International B.V.
ISBN: 9403521066
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
Global Trade Law Series, Volume 57 The internationally accepted trade terms known as Incoterms constitute a key instrument for supply chain management. Although the terms have been used worldwide in contracts of sale for nearly a century, there is surprisingly little practical legal guidance on how to use them properly to avoid mishaps and unnecessary disputes. This book – by an expert who has been active in the formal interpretation, drafting and application of the various versions of the Incoterms since the 1990s – thoroughly explains for sophisticated users the framing and implications of each term in the complex international trade and transport environment where English is the lingua franca. Fully detailing the use of Incoterms® 2020 in contracts of sale, interacting with contracts of transport, insurance, and finance, the author provides in-depth descriptions and analyses of each of the 11 Incoterms® 2020 in the logistical order of a sales transaction, along with practical notes about the use of each term. Issues covered include the following: at which stage of a supply chain the delivery of the goods takes place; when the risk of loss or damage to the goods passes from seller to buyer; how to treat delay from the risk point of view not expressly addressed by Incoterms® 2020; who contracts for or arranges carriage and who procures insurance; role of transport documents and other delivery documents and their electronic equivalents; clearing through customs, licences, authorizations, security clearances, and other formalities; checking, packaging, and marking of the goods; how the costs involved in delivery operations are divided between seller and buyer; delivery implications relating to other parts of the contract of sale; special deliveries with insight into container deliveries, deliveries of large objects, dangerous goods, deliveries including installations, deliveries through pipelines, deliveries of software, intra-group deliveries, courier deliveries and the interface with consumer law; challenges caused by logistic bottlenecks such as those deriving from the COVID-19 pandemic; consequences of delay in delivery; economic sanctions; and use of force majeure and hardship clauses. The presentation is richly supported with many illustrations and charts and numerous case studies. Managers or professionals responsible for sales or procurement or logistics in sale of goods, including transport, freight forwarding, and marine insurance, will greatly benefit from the book’s practical guidance, as will in-house lawyers, accountants, surveyors, and other experts involved in concluding sales contracts or settling disputes in connection with them. Academics and students concerned with commercial subjects will appreciate the author’s detailed and knowledgeable treatment of the subject.

International Commercial Agreements and Electronic Commerce
Author: William F. Fox
Publisher: Kluwer Law International B.V.
ISBN: 9041170081
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 371
Book Description
Although negotiation still lies at the heart of international commercial agreements, much of the detail has migrated to the Internet and has become part of electronic commerce. This incomparable one-volume work??now in its sixth edition??with its deeply informed emphasis on both the face-to-face and electronic components of setting up and performing an international commercial agreement, stands alone among contract drafting guides and has proven its enduring worth. Following its established highly practical format, the book’s much-appreciated precise information on a wide variety of issues??including those pertaining to intellectual property, alternative dispute resolution, and regional differences??is of course still here in this new edition. There is new and updated material on such matters as the following: • the need for contract drafters to understand and to use the concepts of “standardization” (i.e., the work of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) as a contract drafting tool); • new developments and technical progress in e-commerce; • new developments in artificial intelligence in contract drafting; • the possible use of electronic currencies such as Bitcoin as a payment device; • foreign direct investment; • special considerations inherent in drafting licensing agreements; • online dispute resolution including the innovations referred to as the “robot” arbitrator; • changes in the arbitration rules of major international organizations; and • assessment of possible future trends in international commercial arrangements. Each chapter provides numerous references to additional sources, including a large number of websites. Materials from and citations to appropriate literature in languages other than English are also included. In its recognition that a business executive entering into an international commercial transaction is mainly interested in drafting an agreement that satisfies all of the parties and that will be performed as promised, this superb guide will immeasurably assist any lawyer or business executive to plan and carry out individual transactions even when that person is not interested in a full-blown understanding of the entire landscape of international contracts. Business executives who are not lawyers will find that this book gives them the understanding and perspective necessary to work effectively with the legal experts.

Languages : en
Pages : 555
Book Description
The European Society of International Law (ESIL) is known for its particularly dynamic character. After 10 years of existence it has proved that it is one of the most cutting-edge scholarly associations in the field of public international law. At its 10th Anniversary Conference in September 2014, which was held in Vienna, participants assembled in order to discuss 'International law and...', the proceedings of which are published here. Going beyond the usual related disciplines of political science, international relations, economics and history, this conference ventured into less well-trodden paths, exploring the links between international law and cinema, philosophy, sports, the arts and other areas of human endeavour. As the proceedings show, it is clear that international law has long been influenced by other fields of law and other disciplines. They also explore whether the boundaries of international law have been crossed and, if so, in what ways.
