Among these activities special attention is devoted to the dissemination of knowledge, education and advanced training of personnel as universal resources for the progress of every society. In pursuing this aim, the ECPD has developed, in addition to research and development activities, a new comprehensive system of postgraduate studies in the law of the European Union and international business law at specialist’s and master’s levels, which is adjusted to the current development problems. At the beginning of 2001, in order to achieve this aim, the ECPD concluded a general cooperation agreement with the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law (UNIDROIT) from Rome, a world-reputed institution in this area. A great number of international conventions relating to the international sale of goods, leasing, franchising, agency, transport, protection of cultural property and the like have been drawn up precisely by UNIDROIT. Many of these conventions have already come into effect. According to the cooperation agreement between the ECPD and UNIDROIT, the world’s leading experts will carry out the programme of instruction. Certificates of completed seminars and courses, as well as diplomas conferred upon completion of postgraduate studies at specialist’s and master’s levels will jointly be issued and signed by the ECPD and UNIDROIT. Under the agreement, the ECPD and UNIDROIT will jointly carry out these educational programmes in the entire territory of South-Eastern Europe.

ORGANIZERS 1. THE EUROPEAN CENTER FOR PEACE AND DEVELOPMENT (ECPD) The United Nations University for Peace was established by the Resolution 35/55 of the United Nations General Assembly in 1980. In accordance with its Charter, the University for Peace is “... an international institution of higher education for peace and with the aim of strengthening the spirit of understanding, tolerance and peaceful co-existence among all peoples, promoting cooperation among nations and contributing to the prevention and peaceful settlement of conflicts, as well as to the development in the world, in the spirit of the Charter of the Organization of the United Nations. To this end, the United Nations University should contribute to the resolving of the significant universal task of training for peace by engaging in education, research, postgraduate studies and dissemination of knowledge necessary for full development of man’s personality and human societies and by adopting an interdisciplinary approach to everything that is connected with peace”. Therefore, the United Nations University for Peace has the legal status necessary for the performance of its tasks and attainment of its aims. It has autonomy and academic freedom as regards its work, in accordance with its humanistic aims and within the scope of the United Nations Charter and Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In that sense, this “University may associate and conclude agreements with governments, inter-governmental and other organizations, that is, institutions in the field of education, and maintain special relations with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), bearing in mind its responsibilities in the field of education”. The United Nations University for Peace was established as “... an international center for research, higher education and postgraduate studies”, aimed specifically at “training for peace and international cooperation”. To this end, the Council of the University for Peace, at its session of 20 January 1983, passed Resolution UP-C2 for the establishment of the European Center for Peace and Development (ECPD) of the United Nations University for Peace, whereby it was proposed that its headquarters should be in Yugoslavia. The Government of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia accepted this initiative and, on 22 October, 1984, concluded the Agreement for the Establishment and Status of the European Center for Peace and Development (ECPD), with Headquarters in Belgrade, with the United Nations University for Peace. The Agreement was ratified by the Law adopted by the Federal Parliament - by the Chamber of the Republics and Provinces on 28 June and by the Federal Chamber on 17 July, 1985, and has been in force up to the present day. This is how the European Center for Peace and Development (ECPD) of the University for Peace established by the United Nations, with headquarters in Belgrade was founded,
