Trade Facilitation and Paperless Trade Implementation Survey 2015

The Global Survey on Trade Facilitation and Paperless Trade Implementation 2014-2015 is a global effort led by the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) in collaboration with the other four United Nations Regional Commissions, namely, the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), the Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA), the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) and the Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE).

The results of the survey will enable countries and development partners to better understand and monitor progress on trade facilitation, support evidence-based public policies, share best practices and identify capacity building and technical assistance needs.

La experiencia legislativa del decenio 2005-2015 en materia de aguas en América Latina

El estudio abarca el análisis de las nuevas legislaciones de aguas adoptadas en América Latina durante la década 2005-2015 (Venezuela, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Perú, Honduras, Argentina y Ecuador). Con ese objetivo se revisa la evolución reciente del derecho de aguas, el movimiento de reformas tanto como la consideración de aspectos cruciales de su efectividad en el contexto regional donde se advierte su relativa ineficacia y grandes dificultades para su aplicación por parte de gobiernos. Los estatutos se revisan en su propio contexto constitucional, y conforme el sentido de su estructura pero favoreciendo la comparación entre ellos.
