LAUNCH OF QUEEN MARY-UNIDROIT INSTITUTE OF TRANSNATIONAL COMMERCIAL LAW

UNIDROIT President Professor Alberto Mazzoni gave the inaugural lecture at ceremonial opening of the Queen Mary-UNIDROIT Institute of Transnational Commercial Law, which took place at the Honourable Society of Gray’s Inn in London on 14 September 2017. About 100 people attended his lecture, entitled ā€œInternational Commercial Law Today: Old Habits and New Challengesā€, and focussed on the tensions between international commercial law and State regulation , the importance of limiting the harmonisation of commercial law to instruments which accommodate the pragmatic approaches of the business community and the future development of non-State rules.
