English Only

ENGLISH is the international language of law and commerce. Knowing FRENCH is useful for understanding LEGAL ENGLISH, but FRENCH is not the international language of law and commerce, so we will ignore French speakers who speak to us in the language of a conquered people.

Non.

I understand that you are a proud Québécois, but the people here have nothing but contempt for you because of decades of transfer payments and NONE OF YOU understanding what Quebec sovereignty means. None of you know who Russell Rogers Smith is, and you're too proud and arrogant to teach. Just go away and be Retardier somewhere else.

UN Convention on International Bills of Exchange and International Promissory Notes

United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL)

New York, 1988

Uniform rules for international bills of exchange and promissory notes: how an instrument is made, transferred and paid, and the rights and liabilities of the drawer, acceptor, endorsers and guarantors.

The United Nations General Assembly adopted this convention in 1988. It applies only to an instrument that is headed “International bill of exchange (UNCITRAL Convention)” or “International promissory note (UNCITRAL Convention)”, so the parties choose its rules by how they write the instrument.

It is a companion to the Bills of Exchange page. The link opens the official text on the UNCITRAL website.
