Interested persons Attention must be paid to the definition of ‘interested persons’ as defined in Article 1(m) sub-paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) of the
Convention.
Included in Article 1(m)(iii) of the multi-part definition of ‘interested persons’ is ‘any other person having rights in or over the object.
’
As recognized by Professor Goode, thisbroad category includes, among others, holdersof NCRIs under Article 39 and holders of registrable NCRIs under Article 40 who have not registered their interest.
If such a holder had registered its registrable NCRI, it would have broad notice rights under the Convention as a debtor under Article 1(m)(i).
Article 1(j): a debtor includes ‘a person whose interest in an object is burdened by a registrable nonconsensual right or interest’.
An object would be considered ‘burdened’ by a non-consensual right orinterest if the r ight or interest has been a registered on the International Registry so that concerned parties would have notice of it.
