At its fifty-seventh session, the Commission mandated Working Group II to work on the recognition and enforcement of electronic arbitral awards and, subsequently, on electronic notices of arbitration. In this regard, the Commission provided the Working Group with a broad mandate to identify the issues and explore appropriate solutions to address those issues without prejudice to the final form of the outcome. Hence, the Commission requested that the Secretariat organize a two-day colloquium during the eightieth session of the Working Group to further assess the issues with respect to the use of electronic awards.
The UNCITRAL Colloquium consists of four panels:
The colloquium will end with a round-table discussion desirable approaches the Working Group could take, as outlined in document A/CN.9/1190, and any other potential avenues for advancing the work.
