The first International Convention on the Carriage of Goods by Rail (CIM) was adopted on 14 October 1890 and entered into force on 1 January 1893. The first International Convention concerning the Carriage of Passengers and Luggage by Rail (CIV) was adopted on 23 October 1924 and entered into force on 1 October 1928.<\/p>\n
In 2023, the CIM Uniform Rules have been in force for 130 years and the CIV Uniform Rules for 95 years.<\/p>\n
OTIF celebrated these anniversaries.<\/p>\n
An anniversary day was organised, a day of round tables in which the discussions focused on the Uniform Rules concerning the Contract of International Carriage of Goods by Rail and the Contract of International Carriage of Passengers by Rail. Do the current versions of these Uniform Rules still correspond to today\u2019s reality and requirements?<\/p>\n
