1980 年 4 月 11 日在维也纳举行的外交会议上通过了《联合国国际货物销售合同公约》并开放供签署。南非没有派代表出席会议，工业和商业部已要求 ASSOCOM 对南非加入该公约的可取性发表评论。因此，该公约有可能成为我国法律的一部分。该公约的目的是实现国际销售的普遍法。因此，它是实现国际商业交易法全球统一这一理想的又一步。对公约中 101 篇文章的分析远远超出了期刊文章的范围。本条的目的有四个： (a) 从某种历史角度看待《公约》； (b) 讨论引入《公约》的法律环境； (c) 审议《公约》的形式，并具体提及那些界定《公约》适用范围的条款，并提及旨在引导国家法院摆脱其国内法律制度概念上的单一性并走向对《公约》的普遍解释的一般性规定； (d) 评估《公约》在使南非更接近国际销售法方面的作用。
The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods was adopted and opened for signature at a diplomatic conference in Vienna on 11 April 1980. South Africa was not represented at the conference and the Department of Industries and Commerce has asked ASSOCOM to comment on the desirability of South Africa acceding to the Convention. There is the possibility, therefore, that the Convention will become part of our law. The purpose of the Convention is to achieve a universal law of international sale. As such it constitutes another step towards the ideal of global uniformity in the law of international commercial transactions. An analysis of the 101 articles contained in the convention is quite beyond the scope of a journal article. The purpose of this article is fourfold: (a) to place the Convention in some historical perspective; (b) to discuss the legal environment into which the Convention is being introduced; (c) to consider the form of the Convention and to refer specifically to those articles which define the sphere of application of the Convention, and to refer to the general provisions which are designed to steer national courts away from the conceptual peduliarities of their domestic legal systems and towards a universal construction of the Convention; (d) to evaluate the role of the Convention in bringing South Africa closer to a universal law of sale where the sale is an international one.
