| Syllabus: | This unit introduces students to the basics of two developing bodies of law, aviation law and the lex specialis or special law of outer space. The latter draws from key principles of international law. Students are introduced to the role of customary international law, the use of the ILC Draft Articles on the Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts and the interpretive role of the Statute of the International Court of Justice and the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. They then study the conventions and agreements that comprise the lex specialis of outer space. The study of Aviation law commences with the Chicago Convention and its pivotal role in creating uniform rules which states import into their local legal regimes. The course then focuses on the liability of air carriers to passengers for aviation accidents before examining briefly their liability also for damage to third parties and property on the ground. The course concludes with an examination of air rage and aviation security issues. |
