Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules for International Carriage by Air, Done at Montreal on 28 May 1999 (Montreal Convention of 1999)
Author: Elmar Giemulla
Publisher: Kluwer Law International B.V.
ISBN: 9403543213
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 894
Book Description
After decades of controversy, a unified liability system for international carriage by air was established by the Montreal Convention of 1999, which went into force in November 2003. The new convention replaced the legal labyrinth created by the numerous perplexing accretions that had attached themselves to the Warsaw Convention. In this indispensable volume, air law professionals will find the full English text of the Convention with detailed article-by-article annotation, including all developments to date in case law, legal literature, national and international legislation, and administrative law. The commentary covers ongoing developments in such crucial aspects as the following: applicability of the Convention; documents for carriage; liability for death or injury of passengers; liability for damages to baggage and cargo and for delay; exoneration from liability; carriage involving a contractual and an actual carrier; time limits for filing a claim and forfeiture; jurisdiction; exclusivity of the Convention versus applicability of national law; and insurance issues. In addition to the article-by-article annotation, the book features such useful information as a synopsis comparing the Warsaw and Montreal Conventions, IATA Conditions and Resolutions, relevant European Union Regulations, and a list of the contracting parties to the Convention. Given that the Montreal Convention’s application during its first 20 years has already documented a promising and forceful new beginning in the complex area of air transport liability, this incomparable research tool will provide an enormous wealth of information and guidance for anyone who deals with legal issues arising from civil air law, including lawyers, policymakers, insurers and academics.

Revolutionizing Development
Author: Andrea Cornwall
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000606597
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
This book tells the story of development studies in practice over the last fifty years through the work of one remarkable individual, Robert Chambers. His work has taken him from being a colonial officer in Kenya through training and managing large rural development projects to a fundamental critique of top-down development and the championing of participatory approaches. The contributors eloquently demonstrate how he has been at the centre of major shifts in development thinking and practice over this period, popularising terms that are now at the centre of the development lexicon such as vulnerability, multi-dimensional poverty, sustainable livelihoods and 'farmer first'. Robert Chambers played a major role in the massive growth in participatory approaches to development, and particularly the application of participatory methods in development research and appraisal. This has led to fundamental challenges to development practice, ranging from approaches to monitoring and evaluation to institutional learning and professional training. There is probably no-one who has had more influence on approaches to development in the past decades. Revolutionizing Development offers a unique overview of these contributions in thirty-two concise chapters from authors who have been intimately involved as collaborators, critics and colleagues of Robert Chambers.
