Abstract
At its 67th Plenary Meeting the United Nations on 11 December 2008 adopted Resolution 63/122—United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Carriage of Goods Wholly or Partly by Sea (hereinafter referred to as “Convention”) which came within the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) established by Resolution 2205 (XXI) of 17 December 1966, with a mandate to further the progressive harmonization and unification of the law of international trade and in that respect to bear in mind the interests of all peoples, in particular those of developing countries, in the extensive development of international trade. Resolution 63/122 was primarily on the carriage of goods by sea but also pertained to multimodal carriage which may include air transport. The General Assembly expressed its concern that the current legal regime governing the international carriage of goods by sea lacks uniformity and fails to adequately consider modern transport practices, including containerization, door-to-door transport contracts and the use of electronic transport documents.
