The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea at 30: Letters in Celebration and Commemoration On the commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the opening for signature of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, delegates of the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea responded to the Legal Counsel of the United Nations to send their personal recollections and reflections for this publication.

UNCITRAL Model Law on Public Procurement with Guide to Enactment The Model Law is a template for domestic procurement legislation. Its main objectives are to enhance efficiency and effectiveness, and to avoid abuse in the procurement process (through promoting competition and participation, integrity, fair and equitable treatment and transparency). The 2011 Model Law replaces a 1994 text, which proved very successful as the basis for some 30 national laws, and the inspiration for many more. It is used by the multilateral development banks as a tool for procurement reform and as part of the country systems approach to procurement. It contains procedures to implement its objectives, whether procurement is conducted electronically or on paper. The Model Law contains a Guide to Enactment, policy considerations and options for procurement systems.
