Most useful, Peter, many thanks. No doubt a post you will want to revisit in say 5 years time for stocktaking.

It is good to think about steps backward and how we deal with them, and not only to focus on steps forward. To answer your question: I am not aware of any really active movement towards ratification of COCA. That doesn’t necessarily mean one isn’t underway. As you may recall, the main barrier to ratification several years ago was not any real disagreement about the merits of the Convention, but byzantine infighting about whether the Convention should be implemented in federal law (by analogy to the FAA) or in state law (by analogy to existing law on judgment recognition). This was, in some sense, a fight between the Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and everyone else. In any case, I suspect that the incoming administration and the Senate are going to have much bigger fish to fry for the foreseeable future.
