Prefatory Remarks To The International Law Symposium On The Guatemala Protocol And Recent Developments In Aerial Hijacking, Hamilton Desaussure
Akron Law Review
The Am Law Symposium recorded in this edition of the Akron Law Review covers two topics: The Guatemala Protocol of 1971, and Aerial Hijacking. The Guatemala Protocol places a higher limit on liability of air carriers where a passenger on board a scheduled international air flight is killed or injured. Recently a New York judge ruled a hijacking incident an "accident" within the meaning of the Warsaw Convention.' It has also been ruled that mental suffering alone may be compensable under Article 17 of that Convention.
