中文摘要:

      集国际商事合同立法大成的《国际商事合同通则》(以下简称《通则》)系统地规定了艰难情势制度。《联合国国际货物销售合同公约》（以下简称CISG）没有规定艰难情势制度，法院与仲裁庭可以适用《通则》作为补充。我国在《合同法》的修订中可以借鉴《通则》对艰难情势制度的规定。国际统一私法协会提供的仲裁与司法判例对研究《通则》的艰难情势制度大有裨益。

英文摘要:

      The hardship clauses are stipulated systemically in the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (PICC), which represents the highest achievement of international commercial legislation. Although the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CSIG) does not contain the hardship clauses, which are involved in the PICC can be used by courts and arbitral tribunals as a supplement in specific cases. Moreover, the Chinese Contract Law may be improved by drawing lessons from the corresponding stipulation for hardship clauses of PICC. There are a number of precedents of arbitration and judicature provided by the UNIDROIT, which are of great help to research on the hardship clauses in PICC.
