Conference Report: '20 Years of CISG in the Netherlands'
April 2012
On 20 April 2012, the Netherlands Journal of Commercial Law (Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Handelsrecht) held its annual conference in Amsterdam. Lisanne van Baren wrote a conference report. She notes that it was very interesting that the editorial board of the Netherlands Journal of Commercial Law decided to dedicate its annual conference to the 20th anniversary of the CISG in the Netherlands, as – so far – little attention has been paid to the CISG in the Netherlands. Although it is undisputed that the CISG provides an important legal framework for international commercial contracts, it followed from the presentations that its uniform application and interpretation require specific attention for this aim by the courts, arbitral tribunals, and practitioners.
