UN/CEFACT

Legal Group (LG)


The purpose of the Legal Group (LG) is to ensure that the legal aspects of electronic business and international trade facilitation are considered in the work of the UN/CEFACT. To this end the Legal Group analyses current legal processes and issues within the mission and objectives of UN/CEFACT, identifies legal constraints that adversely affect the mission and objectives of the Centre, and proposes practical improvements to these legal processes and issues. Deliverables of the Legal group include trade facilitation and electronic business recommendations and technical specifications to advance global commerce.

Membership of the Legal Group is open to experts in the field of international trade law and IT law who have been mandated by their country's Head of Delegation. Experts are expected to contribute to the work based solely on their expertise and to comply with the UN/CEFACT Code of Ethics.

 

Current projects:
