During this Competition Week, UNCTAD is organizing and participating in various events co-organized with Procompetencia (national competition authority of the Dominican Republic) and SELA (Economic System for Latin America).
On 30 and 31 October, UNCTAD will organize a specific course on the application of competition law by the judiciary, aimed at the country's judges, in which topics of interest will be addressed such as:
- economic analysis in the application of competition law
- competition law,
- the scope of judicial review and
- the definition of the relevant market or the sanctions regime.
It will be a practical course in which specific cases of application of this right will be analyzed.

On the one hand, UNCTAD will participate in the round tables on competition in public markets and competition advocacy. On the other hand, it will participate in promotional events that are being coordinated with various media outlets.
