UNIDROIT Principles on Digital Assets and Private Law
In this episode of the International Insolvency Institute’s Global Perspectives podcast, our panelists give a critical outlook of the UNIDROIT Principles on Digital Assets and Private Law. Our experts panelists, Professors Ignacio Tirado (Secretary General of UNIDROIT and Universidad Autónoma of Madrid) and Louise Gullifer (University of Cambridge and Chair of the Working Group’s Drafting Committee for the Principles), summarized the process that led to the adoption of the Principles. In a lively podcast, Professors Tirado and Gullifer summarized the key principles applicable to digital assets, and the rules that should apply in insolvency scenarios, especially those involving the custodians of digital assets. Our panelists explained why the principles take a practical and functional approach, and why the principles aim at unifying rather than harmonizing national laws in the area.
