UNCITRAL Events and News

由联合国贸法会（UNCITRAL）、中华人民共和国商务部（MOFCOM）和天津大学共同举办的“联合国贸法会PPP示范立法与中国实践国际研讨会”将于2023年4月14日举行。以 "可持续发展的PPP "为主题，本次研讨会将探讨PPP实践中的立法和可持续发展问题，重点讨论联合国贸法会PPP立法实践和法律框架、PPP治理和合同以及PPP价值共同创造等关键问题。研讨会将有助于加强PPP实务届对联合国贸法会PPP文书和一般PPP法律条款的理解，汲取PPP实践中的经验，并共同探讨PPP的可持续发展。 

The UNCITRAL Secretariat will hold an in-person discussion entitled “UNCITRAL's Dispute Resolution in the Digital Economy Initiative” during the Paris Arbitration Week. The event was hosted by Science Po Law School. The UNCITRAL project on the stocktaking of developments in dispute resolution in the digital economy (DRDE) was launched in 2021, conferring on the secretariat a mandate to monitor the changing landscape of dispute resolution in the digital economy by compiling, analysing and sharing relevant information with a view to laying the groundwork for possible updates to UNCITRAL texts and development of new ones if necessary.  The project gives particular attention to the disruptive aspects of digitalisation in dispute resolution, in particular those with respect to due process and fairness, but also focuses on the enabling aspects of technology as far as its impact on the cost and duration of procedures is concerned. In line with its mandate, the UNCITRAL secretariat is organising discussions to seek inputs from different parts of the world to ensure the comprehensiveness of its work. The PAW discussion will be hosted at Sciences Po Law School, complementing a world tour covering Tokyo, New York, and Guatemala City.

Join the UNCITRAL Secretariat for “The New Age of Dispute Resolution: Digitization & Evolving Norms”, an event jointly organized with the New York International Arbitration Center, New York State Bar Association, and the American Society of International Law.

When: Monday, 13 February from 18:30 to 21:30 (EST)
Where: Bracewell LLP (31 West 52nd Street, Suite 1900, New York, NY 10019).
