Elaborated in the Vienna based United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, Division for Treaty Affairs, Treaty and Legal Affairs Branch (UNODC/DTA/TLAB) in accordance with General Assembly resolution 53/112 of 9 December 1998. Earlier drafts of the model law were reviewed in two Expert Group Meetings on the Elaboration of Model Legislation on Mutual Legal Assistance, organized by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, in cooperation with the International Institute of Higher Studies in Criminal Sciences (ISISC), and hosted by ISISC in Siracusa, Italy, on 30 November-3 December 2004 and 28-29 November 2005 respectively. A revised draft version, based on the comments received by the experts, was distributed as a Conference Room Paper (E/CN.15/2006/CRP.4) at the fifteenth session of the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice (Vienna, 24-28 April 2006) and Member States were invited to provide further comments by 30 July 2006. Input and remarks received upon this invitation are reflected in the final version of the model law which was made available in February 2007. Footnotes accompanying the text of the law intend to provide specific guidelines on drafting or amending national mutual legal assistance legislation, which are reflecting similar (and accordingly adapted) guidance included in the Revised Manual on the Model Treaty on Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters, available on the UNODC website through the following weblink: http://www.unodc.org/pdf/model_treaty_extradition_revised_manual.pdf
