UNIDROIT

UNIDROIT is an independent intergovernmental organisation that studies the needs and methods for modernising, harmonising, and coordinating private and commercial law between States and groups of States. It formulates uniform law instruments, principles, and rules designed to facilitate international commercial transactions and cross-border trade.

The organisation’s work is highly relevant to international trade finance and payments, as it provides the legal frameworks that underpin global commercial practices. Through its Secretariat and intergovernmental collaboration, UNIDROIT develops practical legal tools that help States harmonise their legal systems, thereby reducing legal barriers for businesses operating in international markets.
