End-to-End Trade Digitalization: Future Models

On 3 June 2025, from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. (UTC+3), the International and Comparative Law Research Center will host an online discussion: End-to-End Trade Digitalization: Future Models. The event will be held in English and Russian with interpretation; registration is required.

Participants will discuss the interaction of national laws adopted since the development of the 1996 UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Commerce, as well as ways to harmonise various legal frameworks. The second stage of the ICLRC’s research will be presented, based on a questionnaire covering several UNCITRAL Model Laws and Conventions. The study aims to identify alternative approaches to e-commerce regulation and unresolved issues that are promising for future codification. The first part of the research, presented in March 2025, featured a heat map illustrating the implementation status of various regulatory approaches.
