NYU Law symposium provides a venue for debate during UN negotiations on international tax

This is a historic moment, as it is the first time a multilateral tax convention has been negotiated under the auspices of the UN General Assembly. NYU Law professors and students have an illustrious history of engaging with the UN, and NYU Law also leads in international tax expertise—so it seemed the perfect opportunity to combine this knowledge to support states in negotiating the UN Tax Framework Convention. We also connected with the NYU Center on International Cooperation, which manages university-wide engagement with the UN. NYU is an accredited nongovernment organization with the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), and so is able to contribute to the process.
