(1) It addresses itself to possible Anglo-American readers with a need to know about the basic rules and principles governing international sale transactions under the combined CISG 1980 and Norwegian law regime. (2) Secondly, it is aimed at Scandinavian readers with a need to appreciate recent developments within the area of international sale of goods law.

1995. UNCITRAL Secretariat. The United Nations Commission on International Trade Law commissioned Professor John O. Honnold (working in conjunction with Professor Michael Joachim Bonell and Ambassador Mahmoud Soliman) to devise a classification of each of the provisions of the CISG. This classification or outline of the CISG (referred to by UNCITRAL as a thesaurus) was designed for recording, classifying, and retrieving decisions under the CISG. As a detailed breakdown of the subjects addressed in each provision of the CISG, it has broader utility: to professors and students as a learning aid, and to practitioners and jurists as a guide to the contents of each article of the CISG.
