The Scope of Temporal to International Air Carrier's Liability for Resultant Damages from Terrorism


Abstract in English

This study includes the scope of temporal to international air carrier's liability for resultant damages from terrorism. The Warsaw Convention, for the unification of certain rules for international carriage by air, stipulates in art. 17 the liability of air carrier for damage to passengers if the accident took place on board the aircraft or in the course of any of the operations of embarking or disembarking. The scope of temporal to international air carrier's liability for resultant damages from terrorism raises wide doctrinal and judicial question, because of the Warsaw Convention 1929 and the following convention (the Montreal Convention 1999) don't include the accidents of terrorism.
