Abstract

This is the introductory chapter of this book, which explores whether the parties to an international commercial contract can effectively choose the UNIDROIT Principles in lieu and to the exclusion of a particular domestic law as the law governing a transaction. The discussion is limited to a choice with conflict-of-Iaws effect that purports to exclude the application of any other national law, including its (domestically) mandatory provisions. The qualitatively different substantive law reference, or incorporation into the contract, is not of interest here. There is no question that the parties are permitted to incorporate the UNIDROIT Principles into their contract by a simple reference, under reservation of the mandatory provisions of the otherwise applicable national law. Such a reference simply replaces the more strenuous process of copying article by article into the parties' document.
