This chapter focuses on the principles relating to the insolvency law and intermediated securities, including those reflected by the Geneva Securities Convention (GSC) and the Legislative Guide.

The chapter offers suggestions for how States might address issues in insolvency in their domestic laws, providing a roadmap for the improvement of the relevant legal regimes. It reviews some perspectives on how ongoing and future developments in technology in relation to the financial markets may affect the holding of securities in the future.
