The UNCITRAL Asia Pacific Days (“AP Days”) series is one of the flagship events of the UNCITRAL Regional Centre for Asia and the Pacific (“RCAP”) to promote understanding and application of UNCITRAL standards in the Asia-Pacific region. This annual event brings together representatives from various countries, including policymakers, legal experts, academics and students, to discuss important developments in international arbitration and related fields. AP Days will be a forum for in-depth discussions on the benefits of the UNCITRAL Model Law and the vision for applying the Model Law, especially the modernization of arbitration law.

Aiming to provide legal practitioners and students with a comprehensive understanding of international arbitration standards and reform implications, UNCITRAL RCAP, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Viet Nam (MOFA), Vietnam International Arbitration Centre (VIAC), and the Ho Chi Minh City University of Law (HCMC ULAW) co-organizes the 2024 UNCITRAL Asia Pacific Day in Viet Nam, which the theme will be focus on “UNCITRAL’s Model Law & Instruments”.

Hosting the 2024 AP Day in Viet Nam offers a timely and strategic opportunity to contribute meaningfully to Viet Nam’s ongoing legal reforms. In particular, Viet Nam’s Law on Commercial Arbitration is currently under review for potential revision, with policymakers considering the adoption of UNCITRAL standards to further align Viet Nam’s arbitration framework with international best practices. Organizing AP Day in this context would provide a platform for insightful discussions on the application and benefits of the UNCITRAL Model Law, specifically addressing how it can support the modernization of Viet Nam's arbitration law.
