In furtherance of the mandate from the OAS General Assembly to
disseminate the Model Law on the Simplified Corporation as widely as
possible (International Law, AG/RES. 2906, June 2017), the Department
has requested that each Member State consider the appointment of a Focal
Point to enable a channel of communication between the OAS and those
offices, ministries or bodies responsible for the modernization of
corporate legislation and simplification of business incorporation. By
means of this mechanism, a network is being established for the
effective dissemination of the Model Law throughout the hemisphere.
The first regional meeting of this network of Focal Points was held
virtually in August, 2019, when the Department of International Law and
the Department of Economic Development joined forces for a virtual
meeting, with the focus being the Model Law and its particular benefits
for MSMEs. The meeting included an overview of the Model Law and its
development within the context of Law 1258 of Colombia, after which the
OAS model was largely based. This was followed by a presentation on the
legislative reform initiative to implement the Model Law in Uruguay. The
meeting then offered a forum for questions and dialogue.
More of such exchanges will lead to concrete opportunities for
horizontal cooperation as the regional network of Focal Points is
expanded and strengthened. Participants have been asked to provide
information or updates on the status of reforms in their respective
countries, which has been incorporated into a report for the region as a
whole and is
available here.
