摘  要

承運(yùn)人責(zé)任體系屬于國際海上貨物運(yùn)輸公約中的核心部分，體現(xiàn)了海上貨物運(yùn)輸法的基本價值取向，甚至體現(xiàn)出航運(yùn)時代的變更。船貨雙方力量對比的變化達(dá)到一定的量變之后必然發(fā)生質(zhì)變，從而導(dǎo)致含有變更的責(zé)任基礎(chǔ)的新公約的產(chǎn)生。實(shí)現(xiàn)承運(yùn)人責(zé)任體系的統(tǒng)一正是國際海上貨物運(yùn)輸法律一體化的價值所在。幾乎每一部已出臺的新的海上貨物運(yùn)輸國際公約中，發(fā)生變動的部分都必然涉及到責(zé)任體系方面?！堵固氐ひ?guī)則》亦然。

本論文運(yùn)用文獻(xiàn)調(diào)查、實(shí)物分析和比較分析等方法對《鹿特丹規(guī)則》承運(yùn)人責(zé)任體系進(jìn)行研究。除了引言和結(jié)論外，本論文總共分為四個部分。

第一章說明本論文的研究方法，并針對《鹿特丹規(guī)則》承運(yùn)人責(zé)任體系的研究進(jìn)展做出文獻(xiàn)綜述，指出《鹿特丹規(guī)則》的先進(jìn)性表現(xiàn)，總結(jié)國內(nèi)外專家的主要觀點(diǎn)。

第二章通過將《鹿特丹規(guī)則》與現(xiàn)行三大國際公約承運(yùn)人責(zé)任體系的相關(guān)內(nèi)容進(jìn)行比較與討論，說明《鹿特丹規(guī)則》中承運(yùn)人責(zé)任體系內(nèi)容條款的主要更改，為后文針對這些內(nèi)容展開評析埋下伏筆。

第三章作為本論文的主體內(nèi)容，著重展開對《鹿特丹規(guī)則》規(guī)定的承運(yùn)人責(zé)任基礎(chǔ)、承運(yùn)人舉證責(zé)任、承運(yùn)人賠償責(zé)任限制、承運(yùn)人免責(zé)四方面內(nèi)容的研究，借助UNCITRAL第三工作組會議報告對以上方面進(jìn)行評析。

第四章的內(nèi)容緊緊圍繞《鹿特丹規(guī)則》以及該規(guī)則對承運(yùn)人責(zé)任體系所做的變更對我國以及承運(yùn)人造成的影響這一主題展開討論，并針對《鹿特丹規(guī)則》對我國航運(yùn)立法的借鑒提出幾點(diǎn)建議，以此達(dá)到很好地完善我國海上貨物運(yùn)輸立法的效果。
