The UINL (Union Internationale du Notariat, International Union of
Notaries) is a non-governmental organisation established to promote,
co-ordinate and develop the duties and activities of Notaries
throughout the world and ensure the standing and independence
necessary for optimum service to individuals and society through close
collaboration between Chambers of Notaries. The IUN represents the spiritual unity and the institution of Latin-type Notaries whose members are lawyers, independent and impartial advisers who, by delegation of public authority, confer authenticity on documents that they prepare, giving a guarantee of legal security and contractual freedom.
It was founded in 1948 by the representatives of the Chambers of
Notaries of the following nineteen countries: Argentina,
Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil,
Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica,
Cuba, Chile, Ecuador,
France, Italy, Mexico,
Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico,
Spain, Switzerland and
Uruguay. The original statutes, approved
in the form of a "Charter" in October 1948 in what was known as the
International Congress of Latin Notaries and idea that emerged mainly
from Argentinian Notary José Negri the idea was performed and became
reality, with the help of Spanish Notary Rafael Nuñez Lagos. The
statutes were officially adopted by the Congress held in Madrid on
21st October 1950. The organization's Spanish name Union Internacional del Notariado Latino references civil law notary which is an interchangeable term with Latin notaries, itself gained its name from Latin-speaking state of Ancient Rome whereas the roots of the civil law notary. Ancient Rome's Codex Justinianus played big part in shaping the laws of civil law countries which originated in Continental Europe and extended to their colonies overseas, including but not limited to Latin America and several Spanish and Portuguese colonies-states which is later known as Latin countries.
The aims of the Union are :
- The promotion and application of the fundamental principles of the
Latin-type notarial system, and principles of notarial ethics, as
approved by the General Meeting of Member Chambers of Notaries;
- Representation of Chambers of Notaries before international organisations
- Collaboration with and participation in activities of international
organisations
- Collaboration with national organizations, more particularly with
notarial organizations
- The study of law in the field of notarial practice and collaboration in matters relating to its development, in accordance with the
fundamental principles of Latin-type Notaries
- The study and systematic compilation of legislation relating to Notaries
- The promotion of international congresses and support for
professional meetings which go beyond purely national interests
- Included amongst the objectives of the Union is the establishment of
relationships with:
Developing Chambers of Notaries and with Notaries in countries
which have no notarial organisation to assist their development and
organisation with a view to their joining the Union;
Notarial organisations within legal systems which are eligible to
join the notarial system;
Organisations which are not part of the notarial system in order to
collaborate with them in areas of common interest.
Nowadays, several international organisations, such as the UN Economic
and Social Council, have conferred to UINL the "special" category of
consultative status. This status, defined under article 71 of the
Charter of the United Nations and by resolution 1996/31, allows UINL
to contribute to the working programmes and objectives of the United
Nations, by acting as a technical expert, adviser and consultant to
governments, to the Secretariat General, the UN High Commission for
Human Rights and within its specialised agencies. As far as the
World
Trade Organisation (WTO) is
concerned, the Union follows its activities to the extent to which it
is affected by them;
- international inter governmental organisations, such as the
Council
of Europe, the International
Institute for the Unification of Private Law (UNIDROIT) and The Hague
Conference on Private International Law
- in supranational and regional organisations, such as the
European Union (EU)
and its bodies, such as the European Parliament, the European Commission and
the Court of Justice of the European Communities; the Organisation of American States
(OAS), the Mercado Común del Sur
(MERCOSUR), the Economic
Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), the
Andean
Community of Nations, the North American Free Trade Agreement
(NAFTA),
- in various international non-governmental organisations, such as the
International Union of Lawyers (Union internationale des avocats UIA),
the International Union of Judges (UIM), the International Law
Association (ILA), the International Bar Association (IBA).

featuring the

there's a variant of the coat of arms, which I spotted on Medellín, Colombia,
outside a Notary office affiliated to the UINL.

Variant colored coat of arms of the UINL seen in Medellín, Colombia.

The CoA is a sinister looking eagle inside an oval, with the name (in English) inscribed on the bottom, and inside the oval, on top of the eagle is the motto in Latin "LEX EST QUODCUMQUE NOTAMUS" (English: "The law is what is written"). On top of the eagle, there's a book and a quill symbolizing notaries, and the outer ornaments are an unscrolled paper with a bow on top, in sort of a seal, typical of notarized documents.
