Abstract

CONVENTION ON AGENCY IN THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS During the first three weeks of February 1983, the Swiss government was host to a diplomatic conference in Geneva that put in final form a Convention on Agency in the Inter­ national Sale of Goods. The conference was attended by representatives of 49 states as well as by observers from 9 states. The United States was represented by E. Allan Farns- worth of the Columbia Law School, Peter H. Pfund of the Le­ gal Adviser's Office of the Department of State, and George T. Dempsey of the United States Mission in Geneva. The fi­ nal act was signed by governments, including the United States, on 17 February 1983. The Convention is the product of the International Insti­ tute for the Unification on Private Law (UNIDROIT) in Rome, which began work in 1935 and published in 1961 a draft uniform law on agency in private law relations of an international character and a separate draft uniform law on the contract of commission in the international sale of goods.
