The Insolvency Law Committee (ILC), chaired by Corporate Affairs Secretary Injeti Srinivas, submitted its report on the matter to Corporate Affairs Minister Arun Jaitley.
The ILC has recommended the adoption of the UNCITRAL (United Nations Commission on International Trade Law) Model Law of Cross Border Insolvency, 1997.
The Model Law focuses on authorising and encouraging cooperation and coordination between jurisdictions, rather than attempting the unification of substantive insolvency law.
The UNCITRAL Model Law has been adopted in as many as 44 countries.
Established in 1966, UNCITRAL is a subsidiary body of the General Assembly of the UN.
