Abstract
La investigación aborda el estudio del crédito documentario
como mecanismo o garantía de pago utilizado en la compraventa mercantil
internacional. En la actualidad estos instrumentos de liquidación y financiamiento
ofrecen confianza, seguridad jurídica y económica. El uso de esta
práctica financiera se transforma en la transacción comercial más segura
posible. Además de constituir instrumentos de pago, su utilización provee
de garantías a las partes contratantes, en las actividades comerciales internacionales.
En este sentido, el presente artículo se convierte en un análisis
de las particularidades y funciones de la institución, logrando conformar
bases teóricas para su aplicación en un mundo en el cual su regulación internacional
debe ser usada uniformemente, a consecuencia de las carencias
presentadas en los diferentes ordenamientos jurídicos nacionales.
