UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency: The Judicial Perspective
UNCITRAL Digest of Case Law on the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration This publication contains a presentation of case laws rendered in jurisdictions having enacted the UNCITRAL Model Law. In light of the large number of cases collected, UNCITRAL requested a tool specifically designed to present selected information on the interpretation and application of the Model Law in a clear, concise and objective manner. This request originated the UNCITRAL Digest of Case Law on the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration. The digest aims to assist in the dissemination of information on the Model Law and further promote its adoption as well as its uniform interpretation and application. The digest is meant to help judges, government officials, arbitrators, practitioners and academics use the case law relating to the UNCITRAL text more efficiently.

The UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency: The Judicial Perspective This text responds to requests for information and guidance for judges on cross-border-related insolvency issues, particularly on the UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency. It examines the provisions of the UNCITRAL Model Law, ordered to reflect the sequence in which applications for recognition and assistance would generally be considered by the receiving court, under the Model Law, as distinct from an article by article analysis. It offers general guidance, from a judge's perspective, on the issues relevant to deciding those applications, based on the intentions of those who crafted the Model Law and the experiences of its use in practice. It does not purport to instruct judges on how to deal with such applications, nor does it suggest that a single approach is either possible or desirable.

A Threat Assessment
October 2011
No area of the world faces a greater challenge with regard to resource-related conflict than Central Africa. The violence and instability in the region has cost millions of lives, ranking among the most deadly in recent history. All those presently indicted by the International Criminal Court come from Central Africa, broadly defined, and more children are exploited in armed conflict in Central Africa than in any other part of the world. While the causes of the conflict are complex, there can be little doubt that resource theft and smuggling have enabled armed groups and perpetuated an environment of lawlessness and impunity. This publication assesses the mechanics of how contraband and resource smuggling fuel conflict, prolong instability and retard development.
