Report of the United Nations Commission on
International Trade Law on the work of its
twenty-seventh 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 significantly contribute 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 with different legal systems in the process of harmonizing and
unifying international trade law,
Having considered the report of the United Nations Commission on
International Trade Law on the work of its twenty-seventh session, 1/
