Abstract
This Chapter examines some of the most important initiatives taken by the international community toward bringing out harmony in the conflicting domestic regimes aimed at modernizing and adapting the existing legislations to the modern technologies of communications and addressing various legal and policy issues associated with the use of such technologies in the field of international contracts. In particular, it examines the key features of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Model Law on Electronic Commerce (MLEC), UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Signatures (MLES), and the 2005 United Nations Convention on the Use of Electronic Communications in International Contracts (Convention on Electronic Communications); and provides a brief account of the International Chamber of Commerce’s General Usage for International Digitally Ensured Commerce (GUIDEC). In examining these international instruments of harmonization, attempt is made to explain the key principles and approaches evolved to meet the requirements of modern communication technologies in international contracting.
