It is a master index maintained by UNECE that catalogs all United Nations legal instruments related to transport, including conventions and agreements covering road, rail, inland waterway transport, dangerous goods, vehicle standards and border crossing procedures. It serves as the central reference point for locating any specific instrument.
Why would a transport professional use this index?
Instead of searching separately across different transport modes, this index lets you find the current status and official text of any UN transport instrument in one place. It is especially useful when you need to confirm which conventions apply to road, rail, inland waterway, dangerous goods or vehicle regulation matters.
Does this page contain the full legal text of each convention?
No, this is an index or entry point, not the instruments themselves. It directs you to where the status and full text of each convention or agreement can be found, covering areas such as dangerous goods transport, vehicle requirements and border crossing procedures.
What types of instruments are covered in this list?
The index covers UN legal instruments across multiple transport domains: road transport, rail transport, inland waterway transport, dangerous goods regulations, vehicle technical standards, and agreements on border crossing facilitation. It spans the full range of UNECE transport-related legal frameworks.
