Problems of international cooperation in the regulation of cross-border e-commerce in the context of international organizations

The article is devoted to the peculiarities of international cooperation in the sphere of legal regulation of e-commerce. The author considers the documents of international organizations of harmonizing and unifying nature which affect various aspects of cross-border trading activities. Cross-border e-commerce of goods and services, in any form needs clear rules and detailed regulation. Such regulation at the international legal level is offered by a variety of international organizations working in the field of International Trade Law (UNCITRAL, ICC, UNCTAD, WTO, OECD). A particular attention is drawn to the documents of UNCITRAL, as an international organization actively involved in the field of electronic commerce issues since the 80s of XX century. The author notes a specific role of the UN- CITRAL Model Law "On electronic commerce", as well as the UN Convention "On the Use of Electronic Communications in International Contracts" 2005 as the only e-commerce international treaty which is aimed at practical solutions to legal issues related to the increased use of electronic communications in the conclusion of crossborder contracts. The author concludes that the use of undervalued conditions of ICC eTerms 2004 on compliance with the form of the contract through the implementation of electronic messages between the parties when entering into crossborder contracts seems as a safe and legitimate way of registration of contractual relations as a simple written (paper) form of contract in the legal context (enshrined in most national laws) on the freedom of contract and freedom of contract forms
