论贯穿国际航空运输法发展过程的矛盾与挑战

Contradictions and Challenges throughout the Development of International Aviation Transportation Law

致力于统一国际航空运输规则的华沙公约体系,从诞生之日起经历了种种矛盾与分歧的挑战。贯穿华沙体系发展始终的主要是三大矛盾,即承运人与客户、发达国家与发展中国家、普通法系与大陆法系之间的矛盾。这三大矛盾不仅体现在公约的酝酿修改过程中,也体现在公约具体条文所遗留下的妥协痕迹。面对航空战略联盟和新科技的发展,华沙体系又将面临新的挑战与创新。

Warsaw Convention System, aiming to unify international aviation transportation rules, has undergone many challenges since its inception. Throughout this system, there have been three sets of contradictions： carriers and clients; industrial countries and developing countries; and common law system and civil law system. These contradictions have been reflected not only in the draft process of Warsaw Convention, but in the compromises within the specific provisions of this Convention. In the era of Air Strategic Alliance and the development of new technologies, Warsaw Convention System will be confronted with new challenges and innovations.
