- Warsaw_Convention abstract "The Warsaw Convention is an international convention which regulates liability for international carriage of persons, luggage, or goods performed by aircraft for reward.Originally signed in 1929 in Warsaw (hence the name), it was amended in 1955 at The Hague, Netherlands, and in 1971 in Guatemala City, Guatemala. United States courts have held that, at least for some purposes, the Warsaw Convention is a different instrument from the Warsaw Convention as amended by the Hague Protocol.There are five chapters:Chapter I – DefinitionsChapter II – Documents of Carriage; Luggage and Passenger TicketChapter III – Liability of the CarrierChapter IV – Provisions Relating to Combined CarriageChapter V – General and Final ProvisionsThe Convention was written originally in French and the original documents were deposited in the archives of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Poland.In particular, the Warsaw Convention:Mandates carriers to issue passenger tickets;Requires carriers to issue baggage checks for checked luggage;Creates a limitation period of two years within which a claim must be brought (Article 29); andLimits a carrier's liability to at most: 250,000 Francs or 16,600 special drawing rights (SDR) for personal injury; 17 SDR per kilogram (pound) for checked luggage and cargo, or US$20 per kilogram (pound) for non-signatories of the amended Montreal Convention; 5,000 Francs or 332 SDR for the hand luggage of a traveller.The sums limiting liability were originally given in gold francs (defined in terms of a particular quantity of gold by article 22 paragraph 5 of the convention). These sums were amended by the Montreal Additional Protocol No. 2 to substitute an expression given in terms of SDR's. These sums are valid in the absence of a differing agreement (on a higher sum) with the carrier. Agreements on lower sums are null and void.A court may also award a claiming party's costs, unless the carrier made an offer within 6 months of the loss (or at least 6 months before the beginning of any legal proceedings) which the claiming party has failed to beat.The Warsaw Convention provides that a plaintiff can file a lawsuit at his or her discretion in one of the following forums: 1- the carrier's principal place of business; 2- the domicile of the carrier; 3- the carrier's place of business through which the contract was made; 4- the place of the destination. The Montreal Convention, signed in 1999, replaced the Warsaw Convention system.According to Clauses 17 and 18 of the Warsaw Convention, airline companies are liable for any damage that occurs to passengers or their belongings during in-flight. However, airline companies will not be held responsible if the damage results from the passenger's own fault or one of their temporary servants such as doctors assisting ill passengers on their own initiative (Clause 20). To be covered by air carriers, doctors should respond to the captain's call when it comes to assisting ill passengers. In such cases, doctors are considered an airline's temporary servants who acted on the airline's instructions. Major airlines are all covered by insurance to meet such contingencies and to cover doctors who act as their temporary agents.".
