Our international work reached a turning point when we decided, alongside 18 other countries (Argentina, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, Italy, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Spain, Switzerland and Uruguay), to create the International Union of Notaries (www.uinl.org). It now has 91 members!
Organised the third Congress of the International Union of Notaries in Paris, in the presence of the French, Serbian and Georgian Ministers of Justice.
For the first time, France hosted the World Notariat University ‘Jean-Paul Decorps’ organised by the International Union of Notaries. The selective event was attended by almost 100 young notaries from 44 countries.
It is through the work of notaries that I discovered the plight of undocumented children and decided to turn it into a political battle; they are absolutely indispensable as partners.
I am particularly pleased that the French notarial profession is so outward-looking and has been for many years.
The fact that notaries in France and Lebanon wish to work together is an effective way to ensure that the trade between us is secure from a legal standpoint.
