International conventions governing global transportation such
as Hague Visby Rules, Montreal Convention and UNCTAD/ICC Rules
for Multimodal Transport Documents are important milestones in
the transportation industry. They establish carriers’ liability in
the event of loss and damage to shippers, consignors and
consignees, and unify different treaty regimes covering
liability that had developed haphazardly in the past century.
Nevertheless, with the rapid growth of e-commerce stimulating
changes in customer demand, the intensifying use of
technologies in logistics and transport, new issues arising in
the current business environment namely pandemic, gaps are
found between these international conventions and market
requirements. What critical deficiencies do you observe, and
can you propose, with reasonable arguments, two improvements
in any conventions on maritime, air or multimodal transport
with reference to their clauses or articles?
