Secured transactions reform is a complex process that requires the
support and participation of many different stakeholders at the national
level; reform efforts can also be strengthened through support at
regional and international levels. Given the complexity of secured
transactions reforms and the need for consistency with other legislative
reforms (in fields such as insolvency and bankruptcy), collaboration
remains of particular significance, both nationally and internationally.
In this spirit, and in furtherance of our mandate to promote secured
transactions reforms, the Department works in collaboration with several
international organizations — the United Nations Commission on
International Trade Law (UNCITRAL), the Hague Conference on Private
International Law (HCCH), and the International Institute for the
Unification of Private Law (UNIDROIT); these organizations have also
developed legal texts that can also serve as guides or models for Member
States engaged in reforms of secured transactions regimes and related
matters. The International Finance Corporation (IFC) of the World Bank
Group also operates a technical assistance program for secured
transactions and collateral registries. Links to the work of these
organizations is provided below.
Our collaborative work extends beyond participation and input at events
to other activities, such as sharing data, ideas and good practices and
ways to address gaps in country data, capacity-building and
institutional architecture – gaps that OAS Members States need to fill
in order to implement resilient and functional secured transactions
regimes.
