What is the 'Warsaw convention' in Law?

This refers to an international agreement that defines the rules and regulations that govern civil aviation. It was initially signed by a small group of countries but has since been amended multiple times and now been adopted by most countries in the world. Among other things, the Warsaw Convention defines the potential liability that an international carrier faces with regards to the air transport of people and luggage of various kinds. It helps provide a common framework for dispute resolution between parties belonging to different countries.
