New Delhi, Nov 10 (KNN) India has been re-elected by the General Assembly to a six year term on the UN Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL).

After the election on Monday, India's Mission to the UN said in a statement that "it would continue to play a constructive role in the UNCITRAL which is recognized as the core legal body of the United Nations system in the field of international trade law."

India has won all the five elections it contested at the UN this year, following last year's re-election to the UN Human Rights Council.

Along with India, 22 countries including the United States and Pakistan were re-elected to UNCITRAL.

UNCITRAL, which specialises in commercial law reform, says its mission is "the modernization and harmonization of rules on international business." (KNN Bureau)
