- Conference: "The seizure of the ship: a comparison of the Conventions of 1952 and 1999"
- Monday will be held in Genoa. It is promoted by the Italian Association of Maritime Law
- Next Monday at the Palace of the Stock Exchange of Genoa will host a conference on "The seizure of the ship: a comparison of the Conventions of 1952 and 1999" sponsored by the Italian Association of Maritime Law (AIDIMA) under the patronage of the Chamber of Commerce Genoa and also of the Superior Council of Magistracy, of the Bar of Genoa, the quarterly magazine "The Maritime Law."
- The uniform rule in the matter of the seizure of the ship, consists of the Brussels Convention of 10 May 1952 of which 75 States are party, is enriched by a new Convention was adopted March 12, 1999 following a joint United Nations Diplomatic Conference and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) held in Geneva under the auspices of UNCTAD. In fact, after the accession of Albania, which took place on 14 March, the 1999 Convention enter into force on September 14, 2011.
- Among the states that are currently part of this new Convention (as well as Albania, Algeria, Benin, Bulgaria, Ecuador, Estonia, Latvia, Liberia, Spain and Syria) there is Italy. However, its provisions, which amend, supplement and clarify those contained in the Convention of 1952, will apply except that a reservation is expressed in the opposite direction, to ships of all flags, and therefore also Italian vessels, which are found in waters or interior of a Contracting State. Moreover, contrary to the Convention of 1952, even ships flying the flag of a Contracting State may be seized only for a maritime claim, and not to other claims for which the arrest is permitted by the law of the flag State.
- The aim of the conference is to make a comparison between the provisions of the Conventions considering two major differences in such a way as to allow an assessment of the desirability or otherwise, for the Italian maritime community and for those who make use of sea transport for their trade, which Italy also accede to the Convention of 1999.
