Abstract
In June 1998, a Steering and Revisions Committee of the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law (Unidroit) fleshed out the final version of a "Draft Unidroit Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment". Framed by introductory and concluding remarks, the thesis is divided into five chapters. One after the other, these components will expound the generation and elaboration of the reform project, synchronise its jurisdictional aspects with the pre-existing law of international civil procedure and of conflict of jurisdictions, trace intimately related other harmonisation efforts, and briefly compare conventional and up-to-date substantive and conflict of law rules of selected Common and Civil Law jurisdictions that apply to secured transactions and their underlying contractual relationships. It will also review the essential legal characteristics of the 50 years old 'Geneva Convention on the International Recognition of Rights in Aircraft' and ascertain its qualities in the light of present-day demands, before turning to the gist of substantive and uniform security and assignment law as applicable on the basis of the newly created transnational registration mechanism.
