In a climate of protecting comsumer interests and human rights,emotional injury compensation has become a theoretical difficulty for all nations to which the Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules Relating International Carriage by Air passed in1929 is applicable.In abundant cases,based on the relation between bodily injury and emotional injury,American courts have generalized a variety of types of bodily injury and also made a breakthrough in the field of pure emotional injury.These cases have now been widely referred to by other nations,and will definitely affect the application of the Montreal Convention adopted in 1999.
