One of the goals of the Organization 

of American States is to harmonize

Private International Law (CIDIP). The 

OAS has hosted these conferences every 

four to six years. Currently states are 

drafting instruments for ‘‘CIDIP–VII,’’

which will focus inter alia on consumer 

protection. States are currently 

reviewing a draft Brazilian treaty on 

choice of law, a Canadian draft model 

law on choice of law and jurisdiction, 

and a U.S. proposal for a model law on 

the availability of consumer dispute 

resolution and redress. OAS member 

states discussed the three proposals at 

an initial meeting held in Porto Alegre, 

Brazil in December. No dates have been 

set for future meetings, but the views of 

participating states have been requested. 

The Department of State Advisory 

Committee on Private International Law 

(ACPIL) will hold a public meeting to 

review the results of the Porto Alegre 

meeting and to obtain views on the 

three proposals with regard to consumer 

protection.

are unable to attend the public meeting 

and you would like to participate by 

teleconferencing, please contact Trisha 

Smeltzer to receive the conference call 

in number and the relevant materials. .

attend should contact Trisha Smeltzer at
