Yes, the United Kingdom is a member state of UNIDROIT. The UK signed the UNIDROIT Statute on 18 October 1928 and it entered into force for the UK on 1 January 1940. The UK has ratified the following UNIDROIT conventions: * Convention on the International Sale of Goods (1980) * Convention on International Factoring (1988) * Convention on the Law Applicable to Trusts and on Their Recognition (1985) * Convention on the Law Applicable to Succession to the Estates of Deceased Persons (1989) The UK is also a party to the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts, which are a set of non-binding principles that have been developed by UNIDROIT to provide guidance on the interpretation and application of international commercial contracts. The UK's membership of UNIDROIT is important because it allows the UK to participate in the work of UNIDROIT to promote the progressive unification of private law. This work can help to improve the predictability and certainty of the law in the UK and around the world.
