Record 1 2024-05-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Titles of International Laws and Regulations
  • Water Transport
OBS

Adopted by the General Assembly on 11 December 2008, the Convention establishes a uniform and modern legal regime governing the rights and obligations of shippers, carriers and consignees under a contract for door-to-door carriage that includes an international sea leg.

OBS

The Convention builds upon, and provides a modern alternative to, earlier conventions relating to the international carriage of goods by sea, in particular, the International Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules of Law relating to Bills of Lading (Brussels, 25 August 1924) ("the Hague Rules"), and its Protocols ("the Hague-Visby Rules"), and the United Nations Convention on the Carriage of Goods by Sea (Hamburg, 31 March 1978) ("the Hamburg Rules").

Adoptée par l'Assemblée générale le 11 décembre 2008, la Convention établit un régime juridique uniforme et moderne régissant les droits et obligations des chargeurs, transporteurs et destinataires en vertu d'un contrat de transport de porte à porte comprenant une étape maritime internationale.

OBS

La Convention donne suite et fournit une alternative moderne aux conventions antérieures relatives au transport international de marchandises par mer, en particulier la Convention internationale pour l'unification de certaines règles en matière de connaissement (Bruxelles, 25 août 1924) («les Règles de La Haye»), et ses Protocoles («les Règles de La Haye-Visby»), et la Convention des Nations Unies sur le transport de marchandises par mer (Hambourg, 31 mars 1978) («les Règles de Hambourg»).

Record 2 2015-11-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Oceanography
  • Ecosystems
  • Biogeography
DEF

The region of shoreline between the limits of mean high and mean low tide levels.

CONT

Between the high and low tide marks lies a strip of shoreline that is regularly covered and uncovered by the advance and retreat of the tides. This meeting ground between land and sea is called the "intertidal."

OBS

To many geomorphologists, the term "foreshore" is considered synonymous with the intertidal zone. These definitions are compared with the legal definitions of the "foreshore" as exist in Britain under the three different property law regimes; English, Scottish and Udal law. The legal definitions and many of the geomorphological definitions are based on tidal data. The differences between the observed tides at a tide gauge and on a beach at a distance from the gauge are considered. It is concluded that the term "foreshore" has a very specific legal meaning in each property law regime, therefore the authors propose that the term "foreshore" should be used to relate to the legally defined area of the coast and, unless specifically referring to the foreshore, scientists should use the term "intertidal. "

OBS

intertidal zone: term and definition standardized by ISO.
