[on the report of the Sixth Committee (A/52/649)]
52/157. Report of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law on the
work of its thirtieth session
The General Assembly,
Recalling its resolution 2205 (XXI) of 17 December 1966, by which it created the United Nations
Commission on International Trade Law with a mandate to further the progressive harmonization and
unification of the law of international trade and in that respect to bear in mind the interests of all peoples,
in particular those of developing countries, in the extensive development of international trade,
Reaffirming its conviction that the progressive harmonization and unification of international trade law,
in reducing or removing legal obstacles to the flow of international trade, especially those affecting the
developing countries, would contribute significantly to universal economic cooperation among all States on
a basis of equality, equity and common interest and to the elimination of discrimination in international trade
and thereby to the well-being of all peoples,
Stressing the value of participation by States at all levels of economic development and from different
legal systems in the process of harmonizing and unifying international trade law,
Having considered the report of the Commission on the work of its thirtieth session,1
