This publication contains more than fifty international treaties, conventions and agreements on issues of maritime law. Compiled by the Comite Maritime International (CMI), these agreements are the most frequently used documents in the field, promulgated by CMI, the International Maritime Organization, and the United Nations. The CMI itself, afforded consultative status by the United Nations, initially prepared more than half the treaties adopted by the U.N. and the inter-governmental organizations principally concerned with maritime affairs.
Some of the conventions included here are the Hague Rules, the Visby Amendments, the Athens Convention, the OPRC Convention, and the Rome Convention.
