This article has borrowed substantially from
especially this and
in one case from this page from UNIDROIT itself by
IP:94.86.67.62 (in
these edits). As that is the page of the official organization, it is unlikely that they copied from us. I found out by putting full lines in google (between brackets), which gave hits to wikipedia, its clones as well as the Unidroit. I am sorry about this and don't like doing it, but it is so directly copied, I think we have no choice. I salvaged what could be saved though and will be adding a paragraph or 2 in the next week to make it longer again.

example,
they write:
The General Assembly is the ultimate decision-making organ of Unidroit: it votes the Institute's budget each year; it approves the Work Programme every three years; it elects the Governing Council every five years. It is made up of one representative from each member Government. The Presidency of the General Assembly is held, on a rotating basis and for one year, by the Ambassador of one of the Organisation’s member States. AND Preliminary stage
Once a subject has been entered on Unidroit's Work Programme, the Secretariat, where necessary assisted by experts in the field, will draw up a feasibility study and/or a preliminary comparative law report designed to ascertain the desirability and feasibility of law reform. Where appropriate and funding permitting, an economic impact assessment study is also carried out. The report, which may include a first rough draft of the relevant principles or uniform rules, will then be laid before the Governing Council which, if satisfied that a case has been made out for taking action, will typically ask the Secretariat to convene a study group, traditionally chaired by a member of the Council, to prepare a preliminary draft Convention or one of the alternatives mentioned above. The membership of such study groups, made up of experts sitting in their personal capacity, is a matter for the Secretariat to decide. In doing so, the Secretariat will seek to ensure as balanced a representation as possible of the world’s different legal and economic systems and geographic regions.

dear Sir,
concerning the deletion of the pages allegedly under copyright of UNIDROIT, we would like to inform you that the pages have been added by a representative of UNIDROIT in order to update the information on UNIDROIT which is old. There is no copyright on the web-site of UNIDROIT except when expressly indicated (i.e. citation of the text of a translation of a Convention). Do you need a special form to be filled in by UNIDROIT even if there is no copyright? How can we ensure that the new content stays on the page (UNIDROIT is perfectly happy if it matches its website).
Dear Anna Veneziano, Thanks for that explanation and let me help you out a bit. First off, we have to take care with copyright and thus can not add copyrighted info. As on every single page of unidroit is a copyright-sign, we can not use it a priori (even if I disagee with unidroit that they should -as an intergovernmental organization- have a moral right to keep their work from the public; especially their versions of the cape town convention and the explanatory notes (which are not even published online; although in my opinion they are legally relevant as part of the jurisprudence)). There are two ways to get us to use the information:
remove the copyright notices from the website, or
give wikipedia consent to use (but note: consent measn: consent to use, alter; and as wikipedia is available for commercial reuse: any other person can use it). This consent should be given by UNIDROIT via a procedure which can be found here:
Wikipedia:Donating_copyrighted_materials#Granting_us_permission_to_copy_material_already_online (it requires you to email; and volunteers will help establish that you have authority to act on beharlf of UNIDROIT; I guess your job title will more than suffice....).
Having said that, there is of course no guarantee all information will stay: as the information should be neutral and preferrably come from different sources (including possible criticism etc). However, I guess, quite a bit of what was here a year ago can stay as it is not very "commercially driven"... I hope this helps! if you have further questions, do not hesitate to ask!
