Guía legislativa de la CNUDMI sobre un régimen de insolvencia para microempresas y pequeñas empresas
La Guía legislativa fue concebida para tener en cuenta las singulares características de las microempresas y pequeñas empresas (MYPE) y atender a las particulares necesidades y circunstancias de sus dificultades financieras. En particular las MYPE suelen tener un modelo de gobernanza centralizado en el que se entrelazan las deudas personales y las de la empresa y se superponen la propiedad de la empresa su control y su administración. A diferencia de las empresas más grandes las MYPE suelen no contar con los conocimientos suficientes en materia financiera jurídica de gestión empresarial y de insolvencia. Además pueden tener serias inquietudes relacionadas con el estigma que puede acarrear la insolvencia lo que podría afectar su conducta en el período cercano a la insolvencia. También pueden tropezar con más obstáculos para resolver sus dificultades financieras en particular cuando sus acreedores se desvinculan y no muestran interés en prestarles asistencia algo que sucede con frecuencia porque los acreedores de las MYPE consideran que el costo de sus esfuerzos puede superar los beneficios.

As the refugee response enters its third year in 2024 it continues to address significant needs in host countries demonstrating an evolving and prolonged situation.

Post-disaster Needs Assessment: 2023 Kakhovka Dam Disaster, Ukraine
The Post Disaster Needs Assessment report of the Kakhovka Dam Disaster was jointly prepared by the Government of Ukraine and the United Nations. The destruction of the Kakhovka Dam on 6th June 2023 is another devastating consequence of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The breach led to extensive flooding impacting 80 settlements across four oblasts: Kherson Mykolaiv Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia. Approximately 100000 residents were directly affected by the resulting deluge. The destruction of the dam also disrupted critical aspects of life in southern Ukraine including energy production access to drinking water irrigation and river transport. It left a trail of damage in housing infrastructure the environment and cultural heritage. Based on a “Build Back Better” approach the PDNA estimates the total recovery and reconstruction needs to be approximately $5.04 billion with $1.82 billion required in the immediate/short-term. The report puts forth suggestions for addressing the short-term needs in 2023-24 and for tailoring the response to meet recovery and reconstruction needs over the medium and long term spanning the next ten years until 2033.
