metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article is devoted to the analysis of legal regulation dealing with choice-of-law agreements
  by parties to international sale of goods contracts, namely in two documents of the Hague
  Conference on Private International Law: the Convention of 1955 on the Law Applicable to
  International Sales of Goods (in force) and the Convention of 1986 on the Law Applicable to
  Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (not yet in force). The Convention of 1955 sets
  a strict standard of autonomy of will (choice of a country’s domestic law; based only on the
  terms of the contract). Having a small number of participants and characterized by inconsistent
  law enforcement practice, this convention, nevertheless, is a valid legal instrument which
  Russian actors in the field of external trade should take into account when cooperating with
  nationals of member states. The Convention of 1986 establishes a substantively more liberal autonomy of will standard (change of the applicable law; demonstrated by the terms of the
  contract and the conduct of the parties in their entirety). However, many participants in the
  drafting procedure led to a wide range of views in regard to parties’ autonomy (including diametrically
  opposite ones). This resulted in a compromise nature of the solutions (and even
  the drafters’ direct refusal to address parties’ choice sensitive issues: choice of lex mercatoria,
  dépeçage) and, likely, an insufficient adoption for the Convention to enter into force. The
  Conventions’ basic principles (1955 — irrespective of having a few number of participants;
  1986 — irrespective of not entering into force) have the potential for practical application in
  international commercial arbitration. In the case of parties’ autonomy, such an application
  would be limited to its recognition as far as the standard of the first is strict and somewhat
  outdated, whereas the standard of the second has been accepted in the framework of discord
  between states and avoids addressing sensitive issues in its implementation.
