MLETR Tracker

In the transition to paperless trade, the recognition in domestic legal systems of electronic transferable records (ETRs) is essential to unlock the benefits of trade digitization. The UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Records (MLETR) aims to enable the use of ETRs both domestically and across borders, by recognizing the legal validity of ETRs that are functionally equivalent to their paper-based counterparts.
