Abstract

"The [UNCITRAL] was created by the General Assembly in 1966 to enable the United Nations to play a more active role in reducing or removing legal obstacles to the flow of international trade." The U.N. recognized that various economic and legal differences existed between States. These differences were the source of many of the problems that hindered the advancement of an integrated international trade system. "The General Assembly considered it desirable that the process of harmonization and unification of the law of international trade be substantially coordinated, systemized, accelerated, and that a broader participation by States be secured."
