近日，大连海事大学法学院Filippo Lorenzon教授与“联合国贸易和发展会议”（简称“联合国贸发会”， UNCTAD）合作，撰写了两份关于新冠疫情对国际贸易和货物索赔影响的简报。两份简报广泛讨论了新冠疫情带来的法律和实践问题，以及疫情对国际间货物顺利流动造成的障碍。两份简报既指出了存在的问题也提出了合同层面和法律制度层面的解决办法，将成为未来一段时间内各方深入研究该问题的基础。即：《新冠疫情对商事合同的影响：CIF和FOB下的国际货物买卖》与《新冠疫情对商事合同的影响：海上货物运输及相关的货物索赔》。

Filippo Lorenzon教授简介：Filippo Lorenzon教授曾任英国南安普顿大学海商法研究中心主任，自2018年8月起正式加入大连海事大学法学院，受聘为商法和海商法教授。主要讲授“租船合同”、“英美海商法”、“欧盟航运法”、“国际海上货物运输公约”等课程，作为主要作者出版了“Sasson on C.I.F. and F.O.B. Contracts”（第七版）、“Maritime Law”（第五版）等著作，为大连海事大学海商法学科的国际化发展做出了重要贡献。

Professor Filippo Lorenzon has worked with the United Nations Conference for Trade and Development (UNCTAD) on two UNCTAD briefs on the effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic on international trade and cargo claims.  The two notes discuss extensively the legal and practical issues caused by the Pandemic and the obstacles it has created to the smooth flowing of goods across International boundaries.  The two briefs highlight issues as well as possible contractual and legal solutions and will form the bases of further study in the coming months.
