Summary

"In one volume it provides a wealth of case law and commentary, arranged as article-by-article annotation to the Warsaw Convention. This new edition brings the case law up to 1999, and includes the new judicial developments derived to date from such recent air mishaps as KAL 007, Lockerbie, TWA 800 and Swissair 111." "The text used is the English (US) translation of the Convention. Appendices include the authentic original French text of the Warsaw Convention and the English (UK) translation, as well as the three official Spanish texts (Spain, Argentina, and Mexico); the official French, English, and Spanish texts of the Hague Protocol and the Guadalajara Convention; texts of the Montreal Agreement, the Guatemala Protocol, and the four Montreal Protocols; pertinent excerpts from the United States Code of Federal Regulation and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) rules; and up-to-date listings of parties signatory to the Warsaw instruments. A table of cases, with supplemental case situations, is also included."--BOOK JACKET.
