Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the provisions of Multimodal International Transport Law No. 29 of 2018 in comparison with the latest international conventions in this field, specifically the Rotterdam Convention of 2008 and the Multimodal Arab Transport Convention of 2009. The problem of the study focuses on answering the following question: Have national legislations and international or regional conventions succeeded in achieving the unity of the legislative regulation of multimodal transport contracts at the international level? Or are we still in need of a binding, unified international convention given the lack of enforcement of the United Nations Convention of 1980? To answer these questions, the study is divided into two parts. The first part discusses the establishment of Multimodal International Transport Law by outlining its concept, parties, and form. The second part addresses the implementation of multimodal international transport contracts according to the provisions of Law No. 29 of 2018, explaining the responsibilities of the contract parties and detailing the claims and suits involved. After analyzing the Law of 2018, the researcher believes that it is beneficial to conclude a developed and balanced international convention that regulates multimodal transport, with the hope that it will be more effective than the United Nations Convention of 1980 in bridging the legislative gap in multimodal transport contracts at the international level.
