U.S. Department of State Advisory Committee on Private 
International Law (ACPIL): Public Meeting on Cross-Border Insolvency

    The Office of the Assistant Legal Adviser for Private International 
Law, Department of State, gives notice of a public meeting to discuss 
potential future work related to cross-border insolvency issues under 
consideration in the United Nations Commission on International Trade 
Law (UNCITRAL). The public meeting will take place on Monday, November 
4, 2013 from 9:00 a.m. until 12 p.m. EDT. This is not a meeting of the 
full Advisory Committee.
    UNCITRAL has developed a number of instruments related to cross-
border insolvency law, including the UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-Border 
Insolvency, a 4-part Legislative Guide on Insolvency Law, and multiple 
explanatory texts regarding the Model Law. These texts are available 
online at http://www.uncitral.org/uncitral/uncitral_texts/insolvency.html. UNCITRAL is now seeking to determine what its next 
insolvency-related projects should be. These issues will be discussed 
during a colloquium and a meeting of UNCITRAL's Working Group V 
scheduled for December 16-20, 2013. Documents related to these UNCITRAL 
meetings are located at http://www.uncitral.org/uncitral/en/commission/colloquia/insolvency-2013.html and http://www.uncitral.org/uncitral/en/commission/working_groups/5Insolvency.html.

Group V for future work. Those who cannot attend but wish to comment
