摘要： 缔约国对于《联合国国际货物销售合同公约》第1条b项作出保留的后果是在国际货物销售合同争议解决中限制公约的适用，增加国内法适用的机会。中国当初做出这项保留的政治和法律环境已经发生改变，维持这项保留的社会基础已经不存在，相反，适时取消这项保留将有助于消除法律适用的不确定和复杂性；有助于公平合理解决这类争议，在国际贸易中遵守诚信；有助于减少国际贸易法障碍，促进国际货物销售法统一。撤回对于公约第1条b项的保留本质上是中国的涉外商事法律建设问题，它无损中国法律主权和其他源于公法类条约的重要国家利益。

Abstract: The reservation to Article 1（b） CISG made by contracting states limits the application of the Convention to contracts between parties from reserving state and non-contracting state, and increases the chance of applying domestic law. Political need and the prudence are the major reasons for making the reservation. It reflects socialist countries’ hopes of more applying domestic law and the internal uniform law. At present, the political and legal situation for China’ s making the reservation has changed fundamentally．The social foundation to maintain the reservation does not exist already. Instead, China’s withdrawing the reservation timely is helpful to prevent uncertainty and complexity of legal application, to solve disputes fairly. It will reduce international trade barriers,and promote the legal uniformity in international trade. Withdrawing the reservation essentially is the issue of improving Chinese commercial law. It does not impair China’s legal sovereignty, the essential state interests deriving from other treaties with the feature of public international law.
