The system features hydrogen as the major energy carrier for stationary power, transportation, industry, residences and commerce.

Shippers today are claimed to have equal commercial power with carriers to influence carriage arrangements and sometimes greater influence than carriers.

Such a system features hydrogen as the major energy carrier for stationary power, transportation, industry, residences and commerce. However, in order for such a system to be environmentally friendly, the primary energy source will have to be renewable.

However, the view was also expressed that the characterization of the carrier or performing party as agent of the consignee was important in order for the carrier to exercise power over the goods, and to avoid liability, provided that no damage was caused and with an established limit on inexcusable fault.

In addition, the first thing done by the present conservative ruling forces of South Korea was allowing the United States to bring its super-large nuclear-powered carrier, its nuclear submarines and its other ultramodern nuclear hardware to South Korea and to stage a nuclear-war exercise against our nation.

State power in Turkmenistan is based on the following principles: the sovereign power of the people, who constitute the sole source and carrier of power; the recognition of the human being as the highest value of society and the state; the responsibility of the state for the people and for the protection of life, honor, dignity, freedom, personal inviolability, and the natural and inalienable rights of citizens; the separation of state power into legislative, executive, and judicial branches; and the limitations on the functions and powers of the central organs of power and local governmental bodies.

There are other contracts that have been on hold for some two years. They are for systems control and communications equipment and include contracts for power-line carrier equipment, the national control centre, switching equipment and fibre-optic cables. Among its assistance projects, the UNDP office provided funding of 250,000 dollars for the national control centre project in 1999.

If the draft convention allowed freedom of contract with regard to volume contracts, a large shipper could, for example, impose an absolute liability clause on a carrier with weaker bargaining power, depriving it of the protection of the liability limits under the Hague-Visby Rules.
