On the one hand, they encourage international investment and, consequently, global economic growth, by reducing or eliminating international double taxation over cross-border income. On the other hand, they enhance cooperation among tax administrations, especially in tackling international tax evasion. Among the other achievements of the United Nations, is the development of an entity of international law. Also known as the \u2018Law of Nations\u2019 it is a set of rules that govern the relationship between nations and is generally accepted as binding, based on the principle of Pacta Sunt Servanda. In order to promote the progressive enhancement of the same, the International Law Commission was established by the General Assembly in 1947. The sources of international law are reflected in Article 38(1) of the statue of the International Court of Justice. One such source is the Model Tax Convention propounded by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. An interesting debate pertaining to the convention has ensued since its applicability in the Indian judicial system, which is the highlight of this article.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> <\/span>OECD, Jurisdiction, DTAA, Convention, Fiscal<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Preferred Citation<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-quote su-quote-style-default\"><div class=\"su-quote-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">Kaustubh S Bam, Model Tax Convention of OECD and its applicability, The Lex-Warrier: Online Law Journal (2018) 5, pp. 223 \u2013 227, ISSN (O): 2319-8338<\/div><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lex-warrier.in\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Model-Tax-Convention-of-OECD-and-its-applicability.pdf\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-glass\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#ef792d;border-color:#c06124;border-radius:7px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:7px 20px;font-size:16px;line-height:24px;border-color:#f4a26c;border-radius:7px;text-shadow:none\"><i class=\"sui sui-file-pdf-o\" style=\"font-size:16px;color:#FFFFFF\"><\/i> Read the full paper<\/span><\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kaustubh S Bam Student of 6th Semester B.A, LL.B (Hons.), Maharashtra National Law University, Mumbai.
