Lex mercatoria Horizon and border to the international trade

Abstract

There are not traders in the cosmic space. The international commerce is grounded on the national territories of every sovereign national State. This is the major challenge and difficulty to the building process of a new lex mercatoria: a new law, or a set of uniform rules, conceived to govern all the international commerce agreements. This law without borders has brought its inspiration from the lex mercatoria of the 11th. century, source of the modern Commercial Law. The important role of the State within the international commerce scene is the main obstacle to the acceptance of the new lex mercatoria. The unlimited adoption of the lex mercatoria may lead to the dictatorship of the always cold market rules, without any due regard to the political and juridical reasons of every national State. The risk involved is deemed to high.
