The United Nations Convention on Contracts for International Sale of Goods (CISG) sets forth uniform rules to govern the formation of international sales contracts and the rights and the obligations of the buyer and seller. This agreement is strongly influenced by Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code which has been adopted by the 50 States of the U.S., and deals with sales of goods and the obligations and rights of the buyers and sellers.
