Transportation and Public Safety
Развитие международных пассажирских железнодорожных перевозок
International rail passenger transport is of fundamental importance to the movement of people across borders in the ECE region a central role that was highlighted in Inland Transport Committee Resolution No. 264. The status of the development of international rail passenger transport is thus considered here in the context of ITC Resolution No. 264 and COVID-19 which offers beyond its negative economic impacts the opportunity to reconsider the role of rail transport in the ECE region and further its promotion in the post-pandemic recovery. As joint efforts are evidently needed the current focus on sustainability in the region’s transport sector may offer the opportunity to national international and private stakeholders to support rail transport development with a focus on intermodality. In turn a seamless more efficient and attractive network must be facilitated by the creation and implementation of appropriate legal instruments at a pan-European level.

75 Years of Inland Transport Committee
75 Documents That Changed the World of Transport
The Inland Transport Committee (ITC) of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) was formally established in July 1947. For 75 years ITC has provided a platform for intergovernmental cooperation to facilitate and develop international transport while simultaneously improving its safety and environmental performance. The main results of this critical work are reflected in the 59 United Nations international agreements and conventions which provide a legal framework and technical regulations for everything from the development of international road rail inland navigation and intermodal transport to dangerous goods transport and vehicle construction. Some of the most emblematic moments of the 75-year history of the Committee are captured in this publication. The adoption of the ITC Strategy until 2030 in 2019 prompted the continued expansion of the Conventions under the Committee’s purview towards eventually covering all 193 UN Member States. Through this strategic direction on the road to 2030 ITC as the UN platform for inland transport stays true to its 75-year history that changed the world of transport and impacts the daily lives of billions around the world. It will ensure its continued contribution to the needs and priorities of its members and contracting parties by leading change in inland transport and by providing a level-playing field and inclusive platform of reliable solutions at a time when these are needed the most by the international community.
White Paper on Integrated Track and Trace for Multimodal Transportation
This white paper provides a high-level overview as the foundation for developing the business requirements specifications (BRS) document for the project. The BRS will then serve as the guide for the creation of the data models and further standards necessary for supporting digitized track and trace for any single or multimodal transportation scenario. This paper attempts to bridge gaps that exist in the identification schemes used to identify consignment movements and commercial systems. The United Nations Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business (UN/CEFACT) defined a Cross-Industry Supply Chain Track and Trace Project in 2018 which was initiated in early 2020. The project’s primary focus is on tracking and tracing during transportation covering the movement of trade deliveries (shipments) from seller to buyer via one or more transport contracts (consignments) and one or more transport modes.

Recommandation No. 45 – Normes minimales pour les agents et courtiers maritimes
L’agent maritime est le coordonnateur de l’escale d’un navire. Il représente l’armateur ou l’affréteur de ce navire auprès des autorités des prestataires de services et des autres parties et veille au déroulement fluide efficace et efficient de l’escale. Le courtier maritime lui joue le rôle d’intermédiaire entre un armateur et un affréteur avant un voyage. Certains pays ont réglementé ces professions mais d’autres pourraient ne pas avoir adopté de lois en la matière. La présente recommandation qui est une version actualisée de celle que la CNUCED a publiée en 1988 offre des orientations claires à l’intention des pouvoirs publics comme des prestataires de services d’agence maritime et de courtage maritime sur les deux professions et sur les normes minimales dont celles-ci pourraient faire l’objet.
