Abstract : Editor's note: From June 27 to July 15, the U.N. Commission on International Trade Law, best known as UNCITRAL, held its 49th session at the United Nations. The International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution, which publishes Alternatives, has been active in UNCITRAL's dispute resolution work over the past five years .
