Geneva Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road (CMR)

The Geneva Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road (CMR) is an international agreement that sets common rules for transporting goods by road across countries. It defines the rights and responsibilities of both the sender (consignor) and the transporter (carrier), including issues like liability for loss or damage, delivery times, and documentation. The aim is to facilitate smooth, predictable cross-border road freight operations by providing consistent legal standards. This helps ensure that goods are transported efficiently and disputes are resolved fairly, promoting international trade and cooperation.
