UNCITRAL is the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law. It is a legal body with membership specializing in commercial law reform, which seeks to modernize and harmonize international business rules.
Participation in UNCITRAL is voluntary and all decisions are made by consensus. The choice of whether to use an UNCITRAL legislative text is a matter for the lawmakers of individual states.
