This thesis examines whether the compromises in the Article 92 and 96 reservations have affected the uniformity of the CISG and whether they are still relevant for the success of the Convention today. In conclusion it recommends that the declarations be withdrawn and the Convention be amended to allow for uniformity of the CISG.
