Abstract

This chapter presents an overview of Barcelona Conference (1921). The Barcelona Conference of 1921 dealt with navigation on international waterways and freedom of transit. The preparatory work was undertaken by a committee appointed several months before. The agenda consisted of the following: a permanent technical organization, a draft convention on freedom of transit, a draft convention on international waterways, a draft convention recognizing the right of landlocked States to their own maritime flag, a draft convention on international railway traffic and a draft recommendation embodying regulations for the commercial use of internationalized ports. The Conference first adopted the Rules for the Organization of General Conferences on Communications and Transit and of the Advisory and Technical Committee, containing rules for organizing similar conferences in the future. A second conference was held at Geneva in 1923 and, at the third which took place in Geneva in 1927, a Statute was adopted which superseded these rules.
