Geneva Securities Convention

The Geneva Securities Convention is like a set of rules that many countries have agreed to follow when they buy or sell investments, like stocks or bonds, between each other. It helps make sure that everyone is playing fair and nobody is trying to cheat or take advantage of another country.

Think of it like a game that you and your friends like to play. Before you start playing, you agree on a set of rules everyone has to follow. This makes sure that everyone has fun and nobody gets upset because someone is cheating or breaking the rules.

The Geneva Securities Convention does the same thing for countries. It helps make sure that everyone follows the same rules and nobody gets upset or treated unfairly. This is important because countries rely on investments to grow their economies and improve the lives of their people. By following the rules of the convention, it helps make sure that everyone can benefit from these investments.
