    Unidroit principles in international trade contracts’ regulation
    2019-05 - Anjos, Maria do Rosário; Sousa, Carla; Silva, Sara; Mimoso, Maria João
    International trade has been facing a globalization process, which caused the inoperativeness of state laws in the field of business’s dynamics. It soon became necessary to create a range of rules to regulate these kind of relations. Firstly, merchants began to regulate them through habits and practices, that took roots over the years, in each market sector (lex mercatoria). After the first world war, there were several attempts to create a harmonized normative system, which would control international trade contracts. One of the main institutions that has widely contributed to the harmonization and unification of the commercial law is, undoubtedly, the UNIDROIT Institute, through its principles, which had been improved and completed throughout time, applying its rules to several legal systems. This research intends not only to describe the importance of these principles but also to demonstrate its contribution to international trade and explain the reason for its success. Moreover, the upgrades introduced in the last version (2016) will be mentioned. At last, we will focus on the legal nature of these principles.

    New mediation challenges: A look at the extraterritorial effectiveness of mediation agreements in the scope of international trade
    2022-04 - Mimoso, Maria João
    The globalization of international trade has deserved attention from several international organizations in order to harmonize the regulation of commercial relations between companies. In parallel with this movement, which was triggered mainly by the United Nations Commission for International Commercial Law (UNCITRAL) and the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law (UNIDROIT), another concern arises, linked to the solution of disputes arising from those contractual relationships. In the last few decades, arbitration has been a pioneer as a privileged way of resolving conflicts in the international trade’s scope, although there has been some skepticism regarding this alternative means, especially in the context of foreign investment relations. The pandemic caused by Covid-19 has decisively contributed, due to the timely failure contracts’ compliance, for a greater reflection on the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), with emphasis on mediation because of its procedural simplicity, as it constitutes a self-reporting mechanism, with the solution being reached by the parties themselves, and, consequently, more easily feasible. In terms of international trade relations, the use of this means has been scarce, due to the lack of harmonized international regulations that facilitate the extraterritorial effectiveness of the mediation agreements reached. In this sense, the United Nations Convention on International Agreements Resulting from Mediation emerged, adopted by consensus by the United Nations General Assembly in December 2018 and signed in Singapore on 7 August 2019 (Singapore Convention). We will analyze this last instrument in conjunction with Directive 2008/52/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2008 on certain aspects of mediation in civil and commercial matters, noting that no European Union state, to date, has signed that instrument. We will conclude with a critical analysis of the solutions incorporated in the Convention in order to understand the European skepticism regarding its text. We will use the deductive method starting from the analysis of the regime established in the aforementioned instruments to enumerate the main dilemmas that the Singapore Convention poses.

    The need for a harmonious interpretation of the rules applicable to international contracts
    2022-03 - Azevedo, Liz Corrêa de; Mimoso, Maria João
    International trade, as of result of globalization and the consequent exponential growth in the operations volume, has brought a movement of reflection on the disciplinary rules of international trade relations. In this context and considering the significant divergences between the legal regimes of the different States, the instruments of standardization and harmonization of the international contracts’ disciplinary rules assume special importance. Notwithstanding the existence of normative instruments that guide the formation and execution of the signed agreements, it is imperative that the hermeneutic activity of such texts is also harmonious, under penalty of distorting the purpose for which they were conceived. Through the analytical method, we will approach the unifying rules and principles of the process of interpreting contracts in the international scenario. Initially, we will present the principle that guides the entire process of interpreting international contracts, pointing out the fundamental principles in conducting the interpreter's activity. We will also note the importance of usages and customs in the interpretive process. Finally, we will analyze the rules on the interpretation of contracts and unilateral declarations of the parties contained in the Vienna Convention on the International Sale of Goods 1980, CISG, and in the UNIDROIT Principles applicable to international commercial contracts, version 2016.
