(i) The Inter-American Commercial Arbitration Commission
131. The Inter-American Commercial Arbitration Commission, a non-governmental organization, was established in September 1934, at the request of the Governing Board of the Pan American Union, pursuant to resolution XLI of the Seventh International Conference of American States, for the purpose of creating an inter-American system of commercial arbitration. The purposes of the Commission, which has its headquarters in New York, are: (first, the establishment of arbitration facilities in each American country, for which purpose the Commission has appointed national committees in a number of Latin-American countries, responsible for organizing panels of arbitrators and for administering the standard rules of the Commission); secondly, the modification of arbitration laws in order to facilitate the conduct of arbitrations and ensure the enforcement of arbitration agreements and awards; thirdly, the familiarization of businessmen in the American countries with arbitration procedure and its advantages to exporters and importers in inter-American trade; and fourthly, the arbitration or adjustment of differences or controversies, arising in the course of inter-American trade.
(ii) Inter-American draft uniform law on commercial arbitration
132. The Inter-American Council of Jurists, at its Third Meeting, held in Mexico City in 1956, approved an Inter-American draft Uniform Law on Commercial Arbitration (resolution VIII), which was based on the studies undertaken by the Inter-American Juridical Committee. 59 In that resolution, the Inter-American Council of Jurists recommended that the American States should, to the extent practicable, adopt in their legislation, in accordance with their constitutional procedures, the said draft uniform law in such form as they considered desirable within their several jurisdictions. 60
(c) International sale of tangible personal property
133. At its Fifth Meeting, the Inter-American Council of Jurists, after examining a draft convention on a uniform law on international sale of tangible personal property prepared by the Juridical Committee, 61 instructed the Committee to revise its draft and to direct its efforts toward drafting a uniform law that would consider problems of international trade in the broadest sense possible. It should take into consideration the statements and proposals made at the Fifth Meeting of the Inter-American Council of Jurists, and the conventions adopted at the Diplomatic Conference on the Unification of Law Governing the International Sale of Goods held at The Hague in April 1964 (see para. 30 above). This topic is on the agenda of the meeting of the Inter-American Juridical Committee, which will start on 10 July 1967.
