IDLO hosts First World Notaries Fall University

ROME, 23 November 2012 - The first World Notaries Fall University, co-organized by the International Union of Notaries (UINL) together with the International Development Law Organization (IDLO) was hosted in IDLO’s headquarters in Rome. 

Bringing together over 50 participants from 17 countries, students of Notarial Law, Notary candidates and young Notaries came together to share best notarial practices. The curriculum focused on topics key to the notarial profession, including, the notaries role in the evolution of land tenure, family law and corporate law, ethics, the fight against corruption and the organization of a notarial office. 

As the only intergovernmental organization with the sole mandate of upholding the rule of law, IDLO recognizes the critical role notaries play in promoting good governance, the rule of law and transparency.
