LA RESOLUCIÓN P OR INCUMP LIMIENTO SEGÚ N LA CONVENCI ÓN DE VIENA SOB RE
LOS CONTRATOS DE COMPRAVENTA INTERNACIONAL DE MERCADERÍAS
Como ya sucedía históricamente, la compraventa sigue siendo un acto
central en el desarrollo del comercio internacional. En las últimas décadas
se han incrementado considerablemente las operaciones de compraventa
internacional de mercaderías gracias, entre otros factores, a la eliminación
de las barreras arancelarias, a la reducción del coste del transporte y a la
incorporación de nuevas tecnologías.
La compraventa internacional puede originar dudas, como por ejem-
plo la de determinar qué ley regirá un contrato, puesto que, en función de
la ley aplicable, los derechos y obligaciones de las partes pueden variar. En
este contexto, el Derecho juega un papel relevante, ya que una regulación
uniforme permite reducir significativamente los costes de negociación de
los contratos y aumentar la seguridad jurídica en las transacciones inter-
nacionales.
Los primeros esfuerzos destinados a la creación de un Derecho uni-
tario de compraventa se remontan a 1929, cuando el entonces presidente
de la recién creada UNIDROIT, Ernst Rabel, publicó el Proyecto de Ley
Uniforme sobre compraventa de mercaderías. A esta primera tentativa le
siguieron, en los años posteriores, intensos trabajos que fueron interrum-
pidos durante la Segunda Guerra mundial y que culminaron en las Leyes
uniformes aprobadas en la Conferencia de la Haya de 1964: la Ley Uni-
forme sobre compraventa internacional de mercaderías («LUCI») y la Ley
