1) The 1980 United Nations Conventions on the International Sales of Goods (hereinafter referred to as the 'CISG'), is a uniform international sales law. It has to date been ratified by 70 nations, representing over two thirds of world trade. The CISG entered into force in Korea on 1 March 2005. It is therefore fair to say that the CISG has in fact been one of the success stories in the field of the international unification of private law.
2) The fourth part of the Convention(Art.89-101 CISG) contains final provisions which deal in particular with possible reservations against certain parts or provisions of the Convention. The CISG has 5 possible reservations:

(1) A Contracting State may declare at the time of signature, ratification, acceptance, approval or accession that it will not be bound by Part II of this Convention or that it will not be bound by Part III of this Convention(Art.92 CISG).
(2) If a Contracting State has two or more territorial units in which, according to its constitution, different systems of law are applicable in relation to the matters dealt with in this Convention, it may, at the time of signature, ratification, acceptance, approval or accession, declare that this Convention is to extend to all its territorial units or only to one or more of them, and may amend its declaration by submitting another declaration at any time(Art.93 CISG).
(3) Two or more Contracting States which have the same or closely related legal rules on matters governed by this Convention may at any time declare that the Convention is not to apply to contracts of sale or to their formation where the parties have their places of business in those States. Such declarations may be made jointly or by reciprocal unilateral declarations(Art.94 I CISG).
A Contracting State which has the same or closely related legal rules on matters governed by this Convention as one or more non-Contracting States may at any time declare that the Convention is not to apply to contracts of sale or to their formation where the parties have their places of business in those States(Art.94 II CISG).
(4) Any State may declare at the time of the deposit of its instrument of ratification, acceptance, approval or accession that it will not be bound by subparagraph (1) (b) of article 1 of this Convention(Art.95 CISG).
(5) A Contracting State whose legislation requires contracts of sale to be concluded in or evidenced by writing may at any time make a declaration in accordance with article 12 that any provision of article 11, article 29, or Part II of this Convention, that allows a contract of sale or its modification or termination by agreement or any offer, acceptance, or other indication of intention to be made in any form other than in writing, does not apply where any party has his place of business in that State(Art.96 CISG).
