About this statute

This provision says when carriage counts as international carriage, how successive carriers are treated, and who may sue which carrier for accidents, delay, loss, damage, or destruction. This article says the Convention applies to carriage by the State or legally constituted public bodies when Article 1’s conditions are met, but not to carriage under an international postal convention. For passenger carriage, the carrier must issue a passenger ticket with specified details. Carriers must issue a luggage ticket for checked luggage, except small personal items kept by the passenger. The carrier’s liability is capped for passengers, registered luggage and goods, and objects the passenger keeps with them; higher limits may apply by special contract or special declaration.
