Signing Ceremony of the Convention on the International Effects of Judicial Sales of Ships – Tuesday 5th September 2023
Final preparations are underway for the Signing Ceremony of the Convention on the International Effects of Judicial Sales of Ships on Tuesday 5 September in Beijing China.
This is indeed a very special moment for the Comité Maritime International which provided UNCITRAL with a first draft and which UNCITRAL took forward as one of its projects in 2018 on the proposal of the Government of Switzerland.
Four years later and after much work by the secretariat at UNCITRAL, CMI and the Chair along with all the delegations of Working Group VI , on the 7th December 2022 the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted the Convention and recommended that a signing ceremony be held in Beijing as soon as practicable.
