Professor Berger has published an article in Issue 3/2024 of the Journal of International Arbitration on the use of the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (UPICC) by international arbitral tribunals. He discusses the iconic "Malaysia Award", and an unpublished Award rendered in an ICC arbitration in which he acted as co-arbitrator. Both tribunals decided complex international business disputes solely on the basis of the UPICC, without recourse to any domestic legal system. These awards provide further evidence for the fact that 30 years after their first publication by UNIDROIT and after four editions, the UPICC can serve as a self-sufficient, comprensive legal system of transnational contract law.
