Convention on the topic "the ship seizure: I compare between the Conventions of 1952 and 1999"



Next monday in the Palace of the Stock market of Genoa will hold a promoted from by right Marine Italian Association (AIDIM) with the sponsorship of the Chamber of Commerce of Genoa and also of the Supreme Council of the Magistrature, of the Order of the Lawyers of Genoa, of the quarterly magazine "the Admiralty law".

The uniform norm in the matter of the seizure of ship, constituted from the Convention of Brussels on May 10, 1952 of which 75 States are part, becomes rich of a new Convention that is adopted on March 12, 1999 afterwards to a combined Diplomatic Conference of Maritime the United Nations and the International Organization (IMO) holding to Geneva under the promoters of the UNCTAD. Indeed, successively to the adhesion of Albania, happened 14th March, the Convention of 1999 will take effect on September 14, 2011.

Between the States that at the moment are part of this new Convention (besides Albania, Algeria, the Benin, Bulgaria, Ecuador, Estonia, Latvia, Liberia, Spain and Syria) not there is Italy. However its dispositions, that they modify, integrate and clarify those contained ones in the Convention of 1952, are applicable, unless a reserve in contrary sense is expressed, to ships of any flag, and therefore also to Italian ships, than are found in marine or internal waters of a contracting State. Moreover, contrarily to the Convention of 1952, also the ships clappers the flag of a State contractor cannot be seized only for a marine credit and not also for other credits for which the seizure is allowed from the law of the State of flag.

Scope of the convention is to carry out compares between the dispositions of the two Conventions considering the more important differences in way such from being able to less allow an appraisal on the opportunity or, for the Italian marine community and for those who they make use of the marine transport for their commerce, than also Italy joins to the Convention of 1999.
