Sažetak
The Draft Convention on Liability of Operators of Transport Terminals in international trade, as prepared by the Working Group on International Contract Practices to which UNIDROIT transmitted its preliminary draft, is the most serious effort to regulate the liability of such operators internationally.
Efforts to unify law in this field started 30 years ago. In 1960 the subject of bailmant and warehousing contract first appeared in the UNIDROIT's general work programme. The drawing up of uniform rules governing warehousing contracts was a difficult and complex task. Unlike carriage operations warehousing is a sphere of activity which was left almost exclusively within the province of national relations. For this reasons there was opposition to the introduction of rules designated to bringing about uniformity. As a consequence and also due to different national regulations regarding the warehouseman's liability, it was decided to observe the minimum rules laid down in the Convention.
The rules in the Draft Convention were often those of the Hamburg Rules and Convention on International Multimodal Transport of Goods. It is perhaps an irony that the Working Group could not avoid taking into consideration the forms of regulation of these conventions since it was already difficult to envisage whether they will ever become a part of international law.
