Note

The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) serves as the focal point within the United Nations Secretariat for all matters related to consumer protection policy. UNCTAD promotes the United Nations Guidelines for Consumer Protection and encourages interested Member States to create awareness of the many ways in which Member States, businesses and civil society can foster consumer protection in the provision of public and private goods and services. UNCTAD seeks to further the understanding of the contribution of consumer protection law and policy to development and to create an environment enabling the efficient functioning of markets. The work of UNCTAD is carried out through intergovernmental deliberations, capacity-building activities, policy advice, and research and analysis on the interface between consumer protection, competition and development.
