Abstract Qatar has sought to encourage the development of international trade and investment through advancements in its law. In light of the growing importance of electronic operations, it has adopted the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law’s (UNCITRAL) model laws on electronic commerce and electronic signatures. However, they alone are insufficient to respond fully to the present-day needs of international trade. An area in which Qatari law is still wanting is the electronic transfer of records that originated on paper. This article assesses the extent to which current Qatari legislation relating to the assignment of rights, bills of lading, and commercial papers is suited to the transfer of such records by electronic means and identifies aspects on which it falls short. To fill this gap, Qatar should adopt the 2017 UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Transferable Records and ensure that it is applied as widely as possible, internally, internationally, and in civil and commercial dealings.

Sejak beberapa tahun Republik Indonesia telah menjadi anggota tetap dari UNCITRAL (UNITED NATIONS COMMISSION ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE LAW). Oleh karena itu beralasanlah bagi kita sebagai sarjana hukum Indonesia untuk lebih memperhatikan karya dan usaha' dari badan khusus PBB ini. Dalam sidangnya yang ke XI tahun 1978 UNCITRAL telah membentuk suatu kelompok karya mengenai "Tata Ekonomi Internasional Baru" (New International Economic Order, N.I.E.O.) yang sekarang sedang merupakan "topic" hangat dan disitir di mana-mana. Pada sidang UNCITRAL ke-XII bulan Juni 1979 Indonesia telah terpilih sebagai anggota Kelompok Kerja mengenai N.I.E.O. ini, mewakili Asia, bersama-sama dengan Jepang dan India, Terms of Reference dari kelompok kerja ini telah dibahas dalam sidang pertama Kelompok Kerja yang telah diadakan di New York pada tanggal 14-25 Januari 1980. Hasil daripada sidang Kelompok Kerja UNCITRAL Januari 1980 ini telah dibawa ke Jakarta dalam rangka pembahasan pertemuan ASIAN AFRICAN LEGAL CONSULTATIVE COMMITTEE (A.A.L.C.C.) pada bulan April 1980 yang baru lalu, dalam rangka Perayaan 25 tahun Konperensi Asia-Afrika. Oleh Trade Law Sub Committee dari AALCC telah dibahas pula dengan saksama pada pertemuan-pertemuan di Convention Hall Jakarta, hasil karya dari Working Group UNCITRAL tentang Tata Ekonomi Internasional Baru yang telah diadakan di New York pada bulan Januari 1980 ini. Kebetulan Professor K. Sono dari Jepang, yang telah bertindak sebagai Ketua dari Working Group UNCITRAL dalam sidang di New York tersebut hadir pula di Jakarta dan telah diangkat sebagai Rapporteur II dalam sidang AALCC di Jakarta ini.

AbstractPessimism abounds in international economic law. The World Trade Organization (WTO) faces an uncertain future following its Ministerial Conference in Nairobi in 2015. International investment law is under attack in countries around the world, while mega-regional agreements such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership are beset by world events, from the United States’ federal election to the unexpected Brexit outcome. Yet the appetite of numerous States to continue forging plurilateral trade and investment deals provides some cause for hope. Viewed alongside other institutional developments including consensus-building work at the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development and the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law, the potential arguably now exists for credible movement towards multilateral rules in investment law. While the WTO's current negotiating stalemate highlights the difficulties in reaching agreement among 164 Members, international trade law offers lessons for working towards multilateralism in the international investment law field. Alongside informal discussions about a world investment court, mega-regionals provide a vehicle for future multilateral investment rules, particularly through the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement between Canada and the European Union, and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership currently under negotiation in Asia.

The Developed Countries

Foreign exchange is one of the major constraints to the growth of the -developing economies. However, demand for primary commodities—main exports of the developing economies—is inelastic. Moreover, the developed countries have put restrictions on imports, from developing countries, of manu¬factured products in which the latter have comparative advantage, e.g., cotton textiles. The Report under review studies the problems of exports from the developing countries in considerable details.
