Closing Words for Private Aviation Law

Of the international treaties of private law drafted under the guidance of ICAO and presented before, the Montreal Convention (1999) is the most important treaty of private international aviation law. Its peculiarity consists in its legal institutions, which support the universal predominance of the Convention. The treaty-maker introduced legal institutions partly familiar and transplanted from the Warsaw Convention (1929), partly utterly new ones, all of which purported the accession of as many countries as possible so that private international legal unification in aviation law could be accomplished in the broadest possible scope.
