Evaluating the Extent to Which the Vienna Convention Achieves its Objectives and the Feasibility of the Sultanate of Oman’s Accession to it

The research addressed the verification of two issues: the first is the extent to which the Vienna Convention on the International Sale of Goods achieves its objectives, as it seeks to provide unified objective rules regarding international sales of goods that eliminate the need to resort to the provisions of national laws that indicate the application of the rules of attribution, The researcher found that the agreement failed to achieve its objectives, due to its inability to regulate all the legal issues that govern the international sale of goods contract. Rather, it allowed the parties to exclude its application even in cases where the provisions of the agreement apply. It even allowed the parties to regulate the contract with provisions that contradict the provisions of the agreement.The second issue: After the failure of the Vienna Convention on the International Sale of Goods to achieve its objectives, it was necessary to clarify the feasibility of the Sultanate of Oman joining it, especially since some jurisprudence believes that joining it would provide a legislative environment that attracts direct and indirect foreign investments. Although the Convention is based on some principles that are considered mechanisms to encourage countries to join it, However, by referring to the Omani Commercial Law and the Omani Civil Transactions Law, the researcher found that these principles exist in the Omani legal system, which necessitated the statement that there was no benefit in the Sultanate of Oman joining the Vienna Convention on the International Sale of Goods.
