Harmonisation effort in carriege of goods by sea

“The ideal of international uniformity has always been regarded as particularly important to maritime law… Most importantly, any new instrument that is adopted must allow for timely, straightforward, flexible and frequent review and amendment procedures, which cannot be derailed by minority interest groups … The mandatory status of international conventions can raise the political stakes to the point where all that the parties can agree on is a mediocre instrument hedged about with problematic compromises. By contrast, the use of model laws or voluntary principles, industry clauses or guidelines can be considerably less threatening and achieve more effective harmonisation in the long term”
