Abstract
Nahnybida V. UNIDROIT
PRINCIPLES: INSTRUMENTAL
PURPOSE AND PLACE IN THE CONCEPT OF LEX MERCATORIA
The article examines the grounds for applying the UNIDROIT
Principles of International Commercial Contracts (UNIDROIT Principles) as a source of applicable substantive law in resolving disputes through international commercial arbitration. The provisions of arbitration rules and current arbitration and court practice on these issues are analyzed. It is substantiated that the wording of the “rules of law” used in the text of modern arbitration laws allows in such cases to apply by arbitrators a non-national legal regulators as opposed to national legal systems. It is determined that in terms of the admissibility of the parties' choice of the law of non-national sources applicable to the substance of the dispute, the discussion in the arbitration environment is conducted primarily due to differences in wording in international documents and national laws, some of which use only the term “law”. another - uses the concept of “rules of law”, based on the fact that the second option is not tied to a particular legal system.
It is established that the UNIDROIT Principles as a flexible legal instrument and a clear example of normative implementation in one source of rules that constitute the essence of the so-called “soft law”, can be used by parties and arbitrators as applicable substantive law in resolving disputes via the international commercial arbitration is quite multilateral. The usage situations cover both the direct application of the UNIDROIT Principles for this purpose and as the manifestation of the “general principles of law”, “lex mercatoria”,“customs of international trade”, to which the parties refer in the arbitration agreement as applicable
to the substance of the dispute (rules of law), as well as will be useful in the absence of choice of substantive law as such or will be in the role of a generally accepted interpretation of common in the practice of international trade turnover principles and rules for their subsidiary application, etc.
