Prior to the mid-1970's most international conventions concerning maritime trade and commerce originated in a private organization of maritime lawyers known as the Comite Maritime International [[1]] (International Maritime Committee) or simply the "CMI." Founded in 1897, the CMI was responsible for the drafting of numerous international conventions including the Hague Rules (International Convention on Bills of Lading), the Visby Amendments (amending the Hague Rules), the Salvage Convention and many others. While the CMI continues to function in an advisory capacity, many of its functions have been taken over by the International Maritime Organization which was established by the United Nations in 1958 but which didn't become truly effective until about 1974
