International Convention for the Unification of Cerain Rules relating to the Arrest of Sea-going Ships, 1952 (''The Arrest Convention'') : Review of certain provisions

Abstract

This paper expresses the author's critical view on certain provisions of the Arrest Convention 1952, particularly in respect of lack of uniformity in application of the Convention's Rules by the Courts in member countries, inconsistency in implementation of the Rules into member countries' legislation, the position of shipbuilders who have been left out of the scope of the Convention and open questions regarding jurisdiction. The author also suggest that further discussion on the subject should take place in Croatia in order to initiate necessary amendments to the Convention and encourage a review of Croatian law and practice of arrest of ships.
