On November 27, 2013, United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Regional Center for Asia and the Pacific (RCAP), in collaboration with the Korea Ministry of Justice, organized a capacity-building event to assist Cambodian government to draft the e-commerce legislation. In the context of the UN legal technical assistance exercise, Prof. Hong Xue, Director of BNU Institute for Internet Policy & Law, and the other two Korean professors,  were invited to give lectures to the Cambodian governmental officials from the Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Justice, Royal Academy of Judicial and academicians on fundamentals of e-commerce law, on the basis of the UNCITRAL texts. Prof. Xue gave the lecture in the morning and received very positive feedback. During the lecture, Prof. Xue primarily analyzed the draft Cambodian E-Commerce Law (version 4) and compared with the UNECC and many other international and national law. The Cambodian delegates warmly welcomed the timely exercise and asked many relevant questions to deepen their understanding on the norms and rules of e-commerce law. The whole event ended with a huge success. The newly established UNCITRAL-BNU Joint Certificate Program is expected to contribute to the legal technical assistance exercise provided by RCAP.

On October 20, 2013, Dr. Luca Castellani, Head of United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Regional Center for Asia Pacific (RCAP) and Prof. Guangju Chen, Vice President of Beijing Normal University (BNU) signed the Agreement to establish the Joint Certificate Program on International E-Commerce Law (JCP). Under the Agreement, both Parties are committed to jointly develop the JCP that is a complex of teaching, research and international cooperation on international e-commerce law. Dr. Castellani stated at the Signing Ceremony that the JCP would be the world first international program that is specialized on international e-commerce law. He expected the JCP would become a world center in this field of law in the rapid growing e-commerce environment. Prof. Chen stated that BNU was fully in support of the JCP and confident in its success.

After the Signing Ceremony, Dr. Castellani joined the Research Seminar organized by BNU Institute for Internet Policy & Law on “Legal Issues in Cross-Border E-Commerce” and gave a keynote speech on the UN Convention on the Use of Electronic Communication for International Contracts (UNECC). The Officials from the Ministry of Commerce (MoC) Department of E-Commerce and other legal experts joined the Seminar and had productive dialogue with Dr. Castellani. All agreed that the legal experience acquired from UNECC and MoC (pending) Administrative Measures on Transnational Rules of Third Party Platform in Internet Retailing formed the basis for further legal development, particularly for international trade via e-commerce.
