CMI Yearbook 2024
The Yearbook 2024, prepared by the Publications and Social Media Committee, chaired by Prof. Massimiliano Musi, was released in spring, and the paper copies were made available at the CMI Conference in Tokyo, after the digital version had already been published on the CMI website.
It is a massive volume of more than 600 pages, which in addition to providing updates on the organization of the CMI, the members of its bodies and National Member Associations (Part I) and those concerning the status of signatures and ratifications of Maritime Law Conventions (Part III), organically incorporates both the reports on the activities of the numerous Standing Committees and International Working Groups of the CMI, attesting and making more visible the great work they have carried out throughout 2024, and the papers and slides of the presentations held at the Göteborg Colloquium (Part II).
The topics covered are very varied, extremely current and the subject of a heated international debate in relation to many of their aspects, ranging from Lex Maritima to MORUs, from MASS to decarbonization, from the carriage of goods to piracy and the Red Sea crisis, to name just a few.
The Yearbook proves to be an excellent “handbook” that allows the reader not only to have a broad and clear vision of the work carried out annually by the Comité Maritime International, but also to have knowledge, albeit in pills, of the evolution of the hot topics in International Maritime Law and the solutions proposed by the major experts in the sector.
We sincerely thank all those who promptly sent the materials to be included in the Yearbook, certain that each year they will be more substantial and meaningful.
