Recent Developments In Aerial Hijacking: The Issue Of Liability, Lee S. Kreindler

Akron Law Review

"My part of the program insofar as hijacking is concerned is, as you might expect, the liability part of the program. I have been asked to discuss who is liable, if anybody, in hijacking incidents."

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.
