The Hague Rules are so called because the work on them commenced at a meeting of the International Law Association at The Hague in Netherlands in 1921. They were eventually adopted by a diplomatic convention at Brussels in 1924 so they are also referred to as the Brussels Convention although they are normally called the Hague Rules. They represent the first effective internationally agreed control of bill of lading terms. Before the adoption of Hague Rules many ship-owners were undertaking no liability
Hamburg Rules 1978: The Hague Rules and subsequently the Hague Visby Rules are favourable to the carrier and bring the cargo owners in disadvantageous position. Most of the ships owning countries are the developed countries and the cargo owners are from the developing countries. The Hague Rules or the Hague Visby Rules become burdensome on the cargo owners. Again there arose the issue of the double insurance where the cargo owner was carrying insurance for liability which was really that
Direct democracy, ‘self-rule’, was born in ancient Athens in the 5th century BC. Direct democracy, as defined by Hague, is “a system of government in which all members of the community take part in making the decisions that affect that community.” (Hague et al 2016, 39). Its goals were popular involvement, open deliberation, and educated citizens with an understanding of the public good (Hague et al 2016, 39). This is a normative goal, however impracticable in reality. Thus, different conceptions of democracy
According to Hague, genocidal rape during war settings is different to normal rape other than the traumatization the victim’s experience and that it is a horrible crime. No one can explain how or why the practice of sexual violence got involved with war. It is used as an excuse for military tactic and political tool. People believe that it is” normal” or “natural” for men to rape and that it is usually women who are the victims. Also the stigma it holds that the victim is to blame instead of the
The Effect of Political Machines on the Democratic System “A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude To make them love it is the task assigned” - Aldous Huxley (Quotes, 1). Through the strong sarcasm in this statement the negative effect political bosses have on a liberal society can be seen. In the late
interpretations of law. The Hague-Visby Rules, Hamburg Rules and Rotterdam Rules are all international trade laws which attempted to harmonise trade law regarding carriers. However, not all countries have parted from their laws and adopt the Rotterdam Rules, the most modern of the three provisions. The Hague-Visby Rules are heavily criticised because of the laws included seem to heavily favour cargo owners and the Hamburg rules were introduced to replace the 1924 Hague Rules and the 1968 Hague-Visby Rules (Wanigasekera
transfer of sovereign power. Belligerent Occupation is simply defined as a territory that is placed under the control of a hostile power/army. The basic principles of the Law of Belligerent Occupation are comprised from The Forth Geneva Convention, The Hague Regulations, as well as other bodies of International Law such as International Humanitarian Law and Additional Protocol I. There are four main principles: 1. The Belligerent occupation does not completely transfer sovereignty over territory to the

International Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules of Law Relating to Bills of Lading. It is also known as the 1921 Hague Rules and the Brussels convention of 1924. The Hague Rules were extensively revised in 1968 by a Brussels Protocol. The amended version is known as the Hague-Visby Rules. Most countries are a party to the 1921 Hague Rules, and a few have adopted that Hague-Visby amendments such as France and the United Kingdom. A bill of lading serves three purposes, First it is a carrier’s
‘door-to-door’. In addition, it establishes new commercial practices where it is necessary for instance, ‘electronic transport documents’ or ‘shipper’s obligations’ therefore it covers the sea carrier’s obligation with new manners differ than those under Hague-Visby-Rules.[footnoteRef:1] [1: Theodora Nikaki, and Baris Soyer, p 319.] At this stage this research describes the main features of Rotterdam Rules by analysing the new approaches it incorporates in with respect to its scope of application, notion
Both the UNCRC and the Hague Convention 1993 deal with intercountry adoption as an optional care for children without families. In general, both instruments do not clearly address the issue of whether a country with large numbers of children in institutions can truly refuse to employ intercountry adoption as a form of optional care for children who are unlikely to reunite with their birth families or to be placed in domestic adoption. Both instruments however, provide discretion for states to allow
in many countries, leaving the prospective parents and children in an undetermined state. There are two different processes for International Adoptions; the Hague vs. the Non-Hague process. Under the Hague process, children receive more protection as it is more thorough and requires more documentation on the child’s country of origin. The Hague Adoption Convention took place in 1993; the US signed the convention in 1994 and it was enforced in April 2008. About 90 countries were involved and signed

LIABILITY FOR AIR CARGO CARRIAGES: LEGAL ISSUES AND CONCERNS INTRODUCTION Air transportation of cargo had its starting at about an indistinguishable time from aired transportation of travelers. On November 14, 1919, the American Railway Express supported a freight plane flight which was unsuccessful in light of a constrained landing; be that as it may, this tragic test was trailed by effective operations of the Ford Motor Company in 1925 and the American Railway Express in 1927.

that property was still vested in the seller, and indeed the seller's claim in tort also assumes this. The case may therefore suggest a strong reluctance of the courts to hold that property in an F.O.B. contract passes before shipment. 16. On the Hague Rules, Devlin J. did not care for the idea of rights and duties transferring back and forth as the cargo swung on the crane to and from over the ship's rail. Though these remarks are not addressed to the question of risk, they appear to be equally
steps to adopt internationally can be complex and the rules can change quickly at any time. The requirements are specific, but are nothing too extreme. There are two different ways to adopt internationally, a Hague adoption and a non-Hague adoption, but the Hague adoption is most common. For a Hague adoption, you must be a U.S citizen residing in the U.S. If you are not married, you are required to be at least 24 years old when filing your “Application for Determination of Suitability to Adopt a Child
To characterise the notion of political parties, Rod Hague and Martin Harrop choose to use the definition submitted by Giovanni Sartori, which says that a political party concerns ‘any political group identified by an official label that presents elections, and is capable of placing through elections candidates for public office’ (1976, p. 63, cited in Hague and Harrop, 2010, p. 203). Andrew Heywood defines it as ‘groups of people organised to gain formal representation or win government power’,
