The growing interconnectedness of the global economy has led to a significant intensification of international transport services. This trend is particularly evident in certain European countries, such as Belgium, the Rhine area of Germany, and Denmark, where the application of the Geneva Convention on the carriage of goods goes beyond national law. While this may not be the case for all nations, the Geneva Convention remains a crucial text for scientific debates and commercial operators alike.

Proposing an up-to-date reading of the Convention is of utmost importance, especially considering its role in facilitating the development of traffic. This book, spanning ten chapters, provides a comprehensive review of the Convention's structure and examines the case-law approaches and trends of most European Union countries. It covers various aspects of contracts, including negotiating models, compensation, liability of the carrier, and damages.

By delving into these topics, the book offers valuable insights into the evolving landscape of international transport services and their legal implications. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars, researchers, and practitioners interested in understanding the complexities of global trade and transportation.
