海島型經濟之特徵，係對外貿易的依存性，因而一國之經濟發展即有賴於 海上保險的呵護與輔助。惟海上保險條款於實務上之運作，自英國勞依茲 保單以及後來相繼制定的協會貨物保險條款，均受到猛烈的批評，雖然英 國倫敦保險市場後來以明確簡化之新保險單及協會貨物保險條款取代之， 但仍保留了英國的特色，致適用於外國市場仍有某方面的困難，故聯合國 貿易與發展委員會議(UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE ON TRADE AND DEVELOPMENT ，簡稱 UNCTAD)欲擬定一套海上保險契約之國際性法律依據 ，並且已擬定一套統一的保險條款（包括貨物與船體保險，簡稱標準條款 ），裨能使具國際性質的海上保險達到某種程度的統一。本論文即試就標 準貨物條款之發展，內容及其在市場中運用所可能遭遇之問題作一闡述， 最後並就 UNCTAD 所提出之建議─國際法律依據─實現之必要性及其內容 作一簡要探討，期能對海上保險之發展有所助益。 Research For United States Marine Cargo Insuarance Model Clauses
