DEPARTMENT OF STATE
[Public Notice 2134]

 

Renewal of the Advisory Committee on Private International Law

    The Department is renewing the Charter of the Secretary of State's 
Advisory Committee on Private International Law for two years. The 
Committee advises the Department on matters concerning the 
harmonization of private law at the international level. Private law 
harmonization is normally achieved by preparation of conventions, model 
national laws, legal guides and other materials. This work is 
undertaken by organizations such as the United Nations Commission on 
International Trade Law (UNCITRAL), the Hague Conference on Private 
International Law, the International Institute for the Unification of 
Private Law (UNIDROIT), the Specialized Conference on Private 
International Law of the Organization of American States (OAS), the 
International Chamber of Commerce and others. The Committee reviews 
projects under way by the above-referenced organizations or others that 
may be involved. When appropriate, specialized Study Groups of the 
Committee are formed to provide technical advice on particular topics. 
The Under Secretary for Management has determined that continuation of 
the Committee is necessary and in the public interest.
    Members of the Committee are appointed by the Legal Adviser, who 
serves as Chair of the Committee, on the basis of nominations by 
national legal organizations. Participation in the work of the 
Committee and its Study Groups is open to any interested and qualified 
person or organization. The Committee follows the procedures of the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act, its meetings are open to the public, 
and notice of each meeting will be provided in the Federal Register and 
to any individual or organization requesting such notice.
    For further information on the Committee or the private 
international law projects that it currently reviews, contact Harold 
Burman, Committee Executive Director at (202) 653-9852, fax (202) 653-
9854, or by writing to the Office of the Legal Adviser (L/PIL), 2100 K 
Street, NW--Suite 501, Washington, DC 20037-7180.
    Dated: December 8, 1994.
Peter H. Pfund,
Assistant Legal Adviser.
