From Proposal to Rejection: The Controversial Revision of the York-Antwerp Rules in 2004

Beschreibung

In 2004, the York-Antwerp Rules (YAR), a cornerstone of general average in maritime law, underwent a revision at the Comité Maritime International (CMI) conference. Led by cargo insurers, the proposed changes aimed to modernize the YAR 1994. However, this revision sparked controversy. Shipowners, a key stakeholder group, vehemently opposed the amendments. Despite their objections, the CMI adopted the YAR 2004. However, the industry's resistance proved strong. Shipowners, led by BIMCO, actively discouraged the use of YAR 2004, ultimately rendering it a failed attempt at reform. Today, the YAR 1994 remains the dominant standard, highlighting the challenges of achieving consensus in revising established maritime legal frameworks.

Professor Dr. Richard, for your History of Sound course, I propose "Connecting With Sounds: A Network History." This book explores how technology has fundamentally transformed our relationship with sound. We'll delve into the history of audio technologies - from the phonograph to the internet - and analyze how communication networks have revolutionized how we create, share, and experience music. From the rise of global music cultures to the impact of radio and the internet on soundscapes, "Connecting With Sounds" explores how technology facilitated the exchange of sounds across continents. But this book goes beyond the technical. We'll analyze the social and cultural impact of networked sound, exploring its role in historical events, the influence of social media on music discovery, and the rise of online communities that reshape how we experience music. "Connecting With Sounds" dives deeper, examining how the "network society" itself becomes a network of sound through online platforms and streaming services, fostering new forms of interaction and transforming the role of music curators and DJs. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the fascinating interplay between technology, sound, and society.
