Multimodal transportation has been a widely used commercial resource by countries to facilitate the exchange of goods. This study focused on analyzing the challenges related to the practical application of the legal framework of the international multimodal transport contract. Despite efforts to establish uniform regulation in international markets, this framework still does not fully meet the needs of participants in these transactions, therefore, it weakens social tendencies towards interconnection, providing additional weaknesses to national subsystems. International organizations such as MERCOSUR, CAM, ALADI, SICA, OAS, the United Nations (through its Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean), and UNCITRAL have worked on formulating solutions to the main controversies that have arisen in this process. However, this has resulted in an incomplete, fragmented, and inefficient legal framework, which primarily benefits the member countries of these international organizations issuing regulations. Additionally, these solutions cannot always be extrapolated as general rules or effective solutions for the consequences of non-compliance with contractual clauses.

Palabras clave : contractual clauses; international organizations; world-system; legal framework; multimodal transportation; global governance.
