International Commercial Contracts: Form And Content

Authors : Bouraba Meriem . Djouabi Mourad .

Abstract

International trade contracts are vital legal instruments for regulating commercial relations between parties from different countries, as they define rights and obligations and ensure the smooth and effective conduct of economic operations. These contracts include formal requirements to ensure the validity of agreements and their proof, as well as substantive requirements that reflect the essence of mutual consent and shared commercial objectives. They also regulate mechanisms of cooperation and the settlement of potential disputes through either amicable or judicial means. Despite their importance, the drafting of these contracts faces challenges related to the complexity of international laws and the diversity of the legal systems of the contracting states, which necessitates careful legal precision, the inclusion of flexible mechanisms, and reliance on specialized expertise to ensure the protection of all parties’ interests and the achievement of sustainability in international trade relations.
