摘要:国际民航组织1999年通过的《统一国际航空运输某些规则的蒙特利尔公约》于2003年11月4日生效,它对各国国内立法产生了深远影响.《蒙特利尔公约》采用两级责任制度规制航空承运人的责任,即对乘客人身造成伤亡达到10万特别提款权时适用严格责任原则,超过此限而无任何限制的适用举证倒置的推定责任原则.韩国已与2011年4月29日通过了商法典第6部分之国家航空运输法,该法明确了对乘客以及行李和货物造成损害的责任条款,并采用了《蒙特利尔公约》中的主要责任原则.韩国有关航空承运人责任的国内法将有效解决在运送乘客、行李和货物方面有关承运人责任的争议,并在其规定的抗辩和限制范围内,为受到损害的乘客和托运人提供适当赔偿.
Abstract:The Montreal Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules for International Carriage by Air adopted by the ICAO in 1999 came into force on 4 November 2003. It has also exercised a considerable influence on national legislation. The main feature of the liability regime of the air carrier under the Montreal Convention is the two-tier liability system for death or injury of the passenger with strict liability up to 100,000 SDR and presumptive liability with a reversed burden of proof without any limit above that threshold. Korea has made the national legislation of the Part VI the Carriage by Air of Commercial Code on April 29,2011. The national legislation of the Part VI the Carriage by Air of Commercial Code of Korea has the provisions on the liability fordamage caused to passenger, the liability for damage caused to baggage, and the liability for damage caused to cargo. It has adopted the main principles of the liability of the air carrier under the Montreal Convention. The national legislation relating to the liability of the air carrier by the Korean government will contribute to the efficient settlement of the dispute on the carrier’liability in respect of the carriage of passengers, baggage and cargo by air,and provide proper compensation to the passenger or consignor who has suffered damage,subject to the defenses and limitations it sets out.
