APRIL
16, 2009 The Making of New International Maritime
Law -
UNCITRAL and the 2009 ROTTERDAM Rules
A 1924 convention, the "Hague Rules",
governing liability for loss and damage to
cargo in international trade, is soon to be
replaced. UNCITRAL (United Nations
Commission on International Trade Law)
recently completed work on the "Rotterdam
Rules". This program examined the
6-year negotiation process and implications
for marine cargo interests and carriers.
Attorneys who served on the U.S. UNCITRAL
delegation from government and private
practice provided their insights into
the intricate process of creating new
international law, reviewed the content and
status of the Rotterdam Rules, discussed
prospects for ratification, and examined the
ramifications for U.S. ocean and intermodal
commerce.
