The formation and development of international legal regulations relevant to the maintenance of international road transportation between the two world wars

Abstract

The paper deals with the building and development of multilateral international legal rules of modern road transportation valid between the two world wars. A large number of states, mainly in Europe, but also on other continents, accepted these rules and made use of them as a basis for the further building of their internal legislatures for this branch of transportation. An analysis has been conducted both of the multilateral international conventions regulating the international road transportation and of those creating conditions for the establishment and regular maintenance of international road transportation. The endorsement of these conventions between the two wars shows that automobile transportation was in full swing and that the states began to build the international legislature for this branch of transportation anticipating its expansive growth in the decades to come.

U radu se prikazuje nastanak i razvoj višestrane međunarodno-pravne regulative modernog drumskog saobraćaja koja je važila između dva svetska rata. Veliki broj država pre svega na evropskom kontinentu, a i na drugim kontinentima prihvatao je ovu regulativu i na osnovu nje dalje gradio svoje unutrašnje zakonodavstvo ove grane saobraćaja. Urađena je pravna analiza višestranih međunarodnih konvencija koje su između dva svetska rata činile pravnu regulativu međunarodnog drumskog saobraćaja kao i međunarodnih konvencija koje su u ovom periodu stvarale uslove za uspostavljanje i nesmetano odvijanje međunarodnog drumskog saobraćaja. Istaknuto je da su na teritoriji Jugoslavije ove međunarodne konvencije imale snagu zakona.
