The main aim of the present article is to underline objective and nature of present Code and to show the historical background.

Often, it is also stressed that only thanks to this Code of International Commerce one can follow an uninterrupted development of commercial law on Czech territory during the second half of the twentieth century, in spite of complete deformation of commercial legal obligations.
