- español
En septiembre de 2009 se abrió a la firma la Convención de Naciones Unidas sobre el Contrato de Transporte Internacional de Mercan- cías Total o Parcialmente Marítimo, bajo el nombre de Reglas de Rotterdam.
Con su entrada en vigor se pretende contar con un texto único y uniforme. En el presente artículo se reflexiona sobre algunos problemas que las Reglas de Rotterdam pueden presentar, especialmente en el tema de la responsabilidad.

In September 2009, the UN Convention on Contracts for In- ternational Carriage of Goods Wholly or Partly by Sea known as the Rot- terdam Rules was opened for signature. When it formally enters into force, the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) will have a single, uniform text which governs all international sea cargo transport as well as multimodal transport contracts that include a sea leg.
The present study analyses the challenges and problems which might arise in the application of the Rotterdam Rules, especially with regard to carrier lia- bility.
