Sažetak
The author analyzes the most important provisions of the 1991 UN Convention on the Liability of Operators of Transport Terminals in International Trade.
Special attention is paid to the definitions of OPERATOR, GOODS and INTERNATIONAL CARRIAGE, to the liability regime (basis of liability, limits of liability, loss of right to limit liability, burden of proof), special rules on dangerous goods and rights of security of the goods.
Pointing out the imprecise and vague provisions of the Convention and specially having in mind the reversed burden of proof provision resulting in severe regime of liability of an operator of a transport terminal, his servants or persons whose services he made use of in performing transport-related services, the author is sceptical about the acceptance of the new Convention by the most important maritime states.
