convention on substantive rules for intermediated securities, also known
as the Geneva Securities Convention, was adopted on 9 October 2009. So
far (26 January 2010), it has been signed by only one of the 40
negotiating States (Bangladesh). The signature and ratification process
will probably start as from the adoption of the "official commentary"
that will accompany this legal instrument. The adoption of the official
commentary is forecasted by December 2010.This convention adopted under
the aegis of the International Institute for the Unification of Private
Law (Unidroit) complements the "Hague Securities Convention" adopted on
17 January 2002 by the Hague Conference on Private International Law,
which has so far been signed and ratified by the United States,
Switzerland and Mauritius.
