Draft Convention on the International Effects of the Judicial Sale of Ships
Draft Convention on the International Effects of the Judicial Sale of Ships

Summary/Abstract: I felt privileged and honoured to have been invited to participate at the International Maritime & Transport Law Course held in Dubrovnik between the 6th and the 11th of September 2021. I accepted with great pleasure and considered it a most appropriate opportunity to share some views and thoughts on what, as a maritime law practitioner, I believe to be one of the most exciting pieces of international law, the drafting of which we are all currently witnessing. It was also the perfect opportunity to inform the audience of the progress that Working Group VI of UNCITRAL, delegated to consider the Beijing Draft on Judicial Sales, was making. I am referring to what we now refer to as the “Draft Convention on the International Effects of Judicial Sale of Ships.” I say “now” because the decision to start referring to the draft international instrument being considered by Working Group VI of UNCITRAL by this specific name was only agreed upon during the 40th session held in February of this year, and therefore after the course in Dubrovnik.
