The international trade is basically founded on the contract of international sale of goods and backed up by the contract of international carriage of goods and the contract of insurance in the goods carried. For the efficient development of international trade, it is essential to incorporate the above three fields closely together. Economic growth has developed international trade which has accelerated the development of international carriage of goods. As a result of rapid expansion of international carriage of goods, rationalization of transport was required, which has brought about the International Multimodal Transport System(herein after referred to as 'IMT') through containerization. International multimodal transport system has affected international trade a lot, especially the field of insurance a great deal. The aim of this paper is to analyze contents of Multimodal Transport Operator's(MTO's) liability system in the UN Convention on International Multimodal Transport of Goods, 1980 and FIATA Bill of Lading(FBL) as one of current Multimodal Transport Documents. The analysis of MTO's liability system will be a good introductory concept for the further study of insurance problems for the development of IMT.

The world economy is becoming increasingly globalized. The globalization has resulted in far reaching agreements to deepen trade liberalization and enlarge its scope to cover new areas in addition to strengthening its supporting institutional base. Economic growth has developed international trade which has accelerated the development of international carriage of goods in 21st century. The international trade is basically founded on the contract of international sale of goods and backed up by the contract of international carriage of goods and the insurance on the goods carried. It is essential to incorporate each other sections for the efficient development of international trade. As a result of rapid expansion of international carriage of goods, rationalization of transport was required, which has brought about the International Multimodal Transport System through containerization. The approach to liability system will be a right way to solve the insurance problems for the development and enlargement of world trade volume. International multimodal transport system has affected international trade a lot, especially the field of insurance a grate deal. This paper is to analyze contents of liability system on Multimodal Transport with in the UN Convention on International Multimodal Transport of goods.

현대 사회에서 항공기는 중요한 운송수단으로 자리매김 하였고 항공 여객운송에 있어서 항공기 연착 손해로 인한 분쟁은 항공운송 관련 분쟁 중 가장 많이 발생하는 일이다. 항공운송에 관한 국제조약이 적용되지 못하는 국내운송 등과 같은 영역을 규율하기 위하여 2011년 상법 항공운송편이 제정 발효되었고 여기에 여객 및 수하물의 연착으로 인한 항공운송인의 손해배상책임제도도 마련되었다. 몇 개 안되는 조문이지만 항공운송 중 가장 빈번히 일어나는 항공기 연착으로 인한 손해배상 문제를 규율하기 때문에 그 중요성은 매우 크다고 할 수 있다. 기존의 바르샤바협약 체제의 문제점을 개선한 1999년 몬트리올협약의 관련 내용을 대부분 수용하여 제정된 우리 상법 항공운송편 규정들은 널리 통용되고 있는 국제적 기준에 부합한다는 장점은 있지만, 1999년 몬트리올협약의 문제점들을 거의 그대로 지니고 있다는 단점이 있다. 상법 항공운송편상 여객 및 수하물의 연착 손해로 인한 배상책임제도 관련 규정들의 문제점 및 개선방안은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 연착으로 인한 항공운송인의 손해배상책임이 성립되기 위한 '연착'의 개념 정의가 없으므로 '연착'에 관한 정의 규정을 두는 것을 생각해 볼 필요가 있다. 둘째, 여객에 대한 연착 손해 발생 시 국내운송의 경우 국제운송의 1/8 수준으로 항공운송인의 배상책임한도액을 차등하여 규정한 것은 항공사보호에 별로 도움이 되지 않는 반면 소비자 피해의 구제 측면에서는 바람직하지 않으므로 국내운송의 여객 연착 손해 관련 배상책임한도액을 국제운송의 1/4~1/2 수준으로 상향 조정하는 것이 바람직하다고 본다. 셋째, 수하물의 멸실 훼손의 경우와 연착의 경우를 구분 없이 수하물의 손해로 인한 항공운송인의 배상책임한도액을 모두 동일하게 규정하고 있는 것은 일반적으로 손해의 정도가 다른 대상들을 구분하지 않았기 때문에 문제가 있다고 생각되며, 수하물의 멸실 훼손의 경우와 연착의 경우를 구분하여 별도로 배상책임한도액을 규정하는 것이 바람직하다고 생각된다. 위에서 언급된 상법 항공운송편의 여객 및 수하물의 연착 손해 관련 배상책임 규정의 문제점 등을 비롯한 동 법률의 개선요구들에 대한 많은 연구와 논의를 통해 오랜 노력과 기다림 끝에 제정된 국내 항공운송법제를 더욱 발전시켜 나가야 할 것이다.

본고는 새로 발효된 1999년의 몬트리올 조약상 국제항공화물에 관한 항공운송인의 책임제도를 종전의 바르샤바 조약과 비교하여 고찰하고 있으며, 또한 항공화물은송인의 책임에 관련된 몬트리올 조약 규정의 주요 문제점들을 다루고 있다. 바르샤바 조약은 1929년에 채택되어 1955년, 1961년, 1971년, 1975년, 1999년에 계속적으로 개정되어 왔으며, 1999년의 몬트리올 조약은 바르샤바 조약 및 관련조약들을 통합하고 현대화한 것이다. 항공운송인은 몬트리올 조약에 규정된 바와 같이 엄격책임주의에 따라 책임을 지며, 항공운송중의 화물의 파괴, 멸실, 손상 및 지연에 대하여 책임을 지되, 운송인의 책임은 1킬로그램당 17특별인출권(SDR)으로 제한된다. 결론적으로 몬트라올 조약은 화물에 관한 항공운송인의 책임과 관련하여 몇가지 현존하는 문제점들이 있는데, 몬트리올 조약과 바르샤바 조약간의 충돌 가능성, 낮은 운송인의 책임한도액, 운송인의 책임기간의 불명확, 과도한 소송제기, 항공보험의 가입 등의 문제들이 그것이다. 따라서 몬트리올 조약상 운송인의 책임조건 및 한도는 재조정되고 보다 구체적으로 규정되어야 한다.

In 2002 Republic of Korea successfully launched a self-made mined proportion rocket and it is expected that she will be able to have own space launching system by 2010. According to Article 14 of the Space Exploration Promotion Act, a new law should be established to impose the limit of compensation for the damage by space accident. Therefore, The Space Accident Liability Act was passed in Korean Congress on Nov. 22, 2007 and it will be enforced in six months. The purpose of this Act is to provide reparation for the damage of the third parties that a launch causes; and the Commonwealth should be insured against any possible space accidents to pay for such a damage. Here space accident means the damages to our life, body, and properties from the launching of space objects. There should be an actual loss to establish the compensation of Liability Act. Article 2 in Liability Act defines "damage" as follows: the term "damage" means loss of life, personal injury or loss of or damage to property of persons. Physical and material damages are included in the conception of damage. The meaning of a launching includes any test launch and launch for a real arrangement which will ultimately provides a wide range of compensation. Article 4 indicates that absolute liability should be imposed in compensating for damage by space accidents. Article 4 also indicates that a launching party should be absolutely liable to compensate for the damage caused by its space object on the surface of the Earth. In general, liability stands where fault is. But if the activity is ultra-hazardous and causes serious harm, the individual needs to compensate for the damage unlimitedly. Because of the many launchings for the Seattleite launching, a launching organization is obligated to the liability insurance in preparation for the space accidents. According to the Article 6 of Space Accident Liability Act, to be insured for the compensation for damage is obligatory. It says: "In accordance with Article 11 in the Space Exploration Promotion Act, the person who wants to receive an approval f3r launching needs to be insured in compensation for the possible damage by space accidents.

The cumulative result of the work by the ICAO Secretariat, the Secretariat Study Group and the Council Special Group on the Modernization of the Rome Convention of 1952 are two draft Conventions, namely: "Draft Convention on Compensation for Damage Caused by Aircraft to Third Parties, in case of Unlawful Interference", and "Draft Convention on Compensation for Damage Caused by Aircraft to Third Parties" The core provisions of the former draft Convention are as follows: The liability of the operator is strict, that is, without the necessity of proof of fault. It would be liable for damage sustained by third parties on condition only that the damage was caused by an aircraft in flight(Article 3). However, such liability is caped based on the weight of the aircraft(Article 4). It is envisaged to create an independent organization called the Supplementary Compensation Mechanism, with the principle purpose to pay compensation to persons suffering damage in the territory of a State Party, and to provide financial support(Article 8). Compensation shall be paid by the SCM to the extent that the total amount of damages exceeds the Article 4 limits(Article 19). The main issues on the farmer draft Convention are relating to breaking away from Montreal Convention 1999, no limits on individual claims but a global limitation on air carrier liability, insurance coverage, cap of operators' strict liability, and Supplementary Compensation Mechanism. The core provisions of the latter draft Convention are as follows: the liability of the operator is strict, up to a certain threshold tentatively set at 250,000 to 500,000 SDRs. Beyond that, the operator is liable for all damages unless it proves that such damage were not due to its negligence or that the damages were solely due to the negligence of another person(Article 3). The provisions relating to the SCM and compensation thereunder do not operate under this Convention, as the operator is potentially for the full amount of damages caused. The main issues on the latter draft Convention are relating to liability limit of operator, and definition of general risks. In conclusion, we urge ICAO to move forward expeditiously on the draft Convention to establish a third party liability and compensation system that can stand ready to protect both third party victims and the aviation industry before another 9/11-scale event occurs.

The accident of the midair collision, passengers' falling or goods' dropping occurs or supersonic aircraft make a sonic boom during their conveying passengers or goods to the destination. The accident in transmit damages the their parties on the surface or their properties. In these cases, the third parties who were harmed to their lives or properties have the right to claim damages against the air carrier who caused them. These matters have become one of the important things since aircraft conveyed passengers and goods. Therefore, it is a great concern to settle these matters by law. But the Safety of the present aircraft has been much increased and the aircraft have become larger in size. Its flight altitude became higher than before. So the relationship of the aircraft to the third parties is much different from that of the earlier aircraft. The air transport is now indispensable to our life. It is not so easy to control these matters. In the early part of 20th century, when the third parties suffered the damage, many European countries made laws on the basis of the principle of liability without fault. But each country had a variety of its own law, and different kinds of difficulties have been brought about. Accordingly, the Rome Convention on Surface Damage (1933, 1952, 1978) has been made and revised. In spite of being revised, it contains many problems, and is not carried into effect world-wide. On the other hand, there are no regulations about the compensation of the third parties damaged in Korean existing laws. In case the damage is brought about to them, it is obviously true that the settlement of the liability of compensation for damage should be made by the general principle on the tort in domestic laws. At this point, it is urgent that we make a special law though the domestic legislation as a preliminary measure before we sign the international convention to save third damaged. It is desirable that we should, for the responsibility of the air carriage for the demage of the third parties on the surface, bring in the theory of the absolute liability in view of the legislation of many conutries. As the aircraft fly in the sky, their flight always contains some danger. It is very difficult to prove the fault, and the operator should suffer the principle of liability without fault or the similiar one. In case the liability without fault will be imposed upon the operator for the damage of the third parties, it is necessary to bring in the liability protection system for the protection and up upbringing of the air carriage. The Burden of danger of the air carriage will be reduced by introducing the system. A domestic legislation measure should be necessarily taken as soon as possible as a legal security measure on these matters.

1999년 몬트리올협약이 제정되기까지는 1929년의 바르샤바협약을 중심으로 한 바르샤바체제가 국제항공운송책임과 관련한 기본 체제가 되어 왔었다. 그러나 유한책임, 과실책임 원칙을 기반으로 한 운송인 보호 중심의 성격이 강한 바르샤바 체제가 급속한 성장을 이룩한 항공운송분야의 시대적 수요에 부응할 수 없게 되면서 이를 하나로 통합하고 현대화한 조약제정의 시대적 필요성에 의하여 탄생한 것이 1999년 몬트리올협약이다. 몬트리올협약은 크게 2가지의 의의를 가지고 있다. 먼저 기존의 항공운송과 관련한 많은 조약들을 범세계적으로 통합하고 통일적인 기준을 제시했다는 점이고 따른 하나는 기존의 바르샤바 체제와는 다른 책임법리를 구성함으로써 소비자중심, 소비자 이익의 보호에 중점을 두었다는 점이다. 본 논문은 이러한 몬트리올협약의 내용 중 여객운송인의 책임을 중심으로 살펴본 것인바 책임성립요건으로써 여객의 사망 또는 신체상해와 같은 책임원인과 사고 등의 세부적 요건에서부터 새로이 도입한 제도 등 관련 문제를 살펴보았다. 즉, 몬트리올협약이 채택한 2단계책임제도를 비롯하여 신체상의 상해를 둘러싼 해석문제, 항공사고가성립하기 위한 요건을 둘러싼 문제, 제5 재판관할권 문제, 전자항공권의 도입에 따른 법적문제, 선급금 지급제도, 계약운송인과 실제운송인에 관한 규정 등 항공여객운송인의 책임과 관련한 전반적인 문제를 다루었다. 이들 중 10만 SDR까지는 항공운송인에게 엄격책임을, 10만 SDR 이상에 대해서는 항공운송인이 과실없음을 입증하지 못하면 무한책임을 지도록 하는 2단계 책임제도와 승객의 주거소지에서 소송 제기가 가능토록 한 제5 재판관할권 도입은 몬트리올협약의 가장 큰 특징이라 할 수 있다. 항공운송인이 10만 SDR이상의 경우에 있어서 무과실 입증이 결코 용이하지 않다는 점에서 사실상 무한책임을 도입하였다고 볼 수 있고 제5 재판관할권 도입과 관련하여서는 승객의 입장에서 소송을 제기할 수 있는 관할법원의 선택이 늘어났다는 점에서 피해자 보호에 획기적인 조치라 할 수 있다. 앞으로 항공여객운송 산업은 점점 더 보편화되고 일상화되고 항공여객운송의 수요는 더욱 증가할 것으로 전망된다. 따라서 이와 관련한 국제적 통일 책임협약인 몬트리올협약의 중요성은 더욱 커질 전망이다. 그러나 몬트리올협약은 이제 막 출발한 단계이어서 앞으로 많은 문제점과 해결해야 할 과제를 안고 있다고 본다. 예컨대 신체적 상해에 정신적 손해의 포함여부 문제, 상대적으로 배상금액이 높은 곳으로의 소송이 옮겨가는 Forum Shopping 문제, 강제보험을 도입에 따른 적절한 보험의 구체적 수준 문제 등이다. 국제적으로는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위한 대책 마련을 지속적으로 노력할 필요가 있으며, 더 많은 체약국의 확보에도 힘써야 할 것으로 본다. 우리나라는 몬트리올협약에 2007년 9월 20일부로 가입하였고 동년 12월 29일 부로 국내적으로도 발효되었다. 더 나아가 우리나라는 본 협약에 기초한 항공운송법을 상법의 일부로 제정하여 시행하려 하고 있다. 이러한 사실은 몬트리올협약이 우리 항공운송업계에도 현실이 되었다는 것을 의미한다. 따라서 우리 항공운송업계도 이에 따른 대비를 하는 것이 필요하다고 본다.

Consumer products are produced on the premise that consumers can use their products safely and effectively no matter how serious human errors they may make. However, different careers and educational experiences of them may induce diverse human errors when they want to use them. In that sense, not a few policies to reduce human errors may show some implications for human error prevention and industrial design of consumer products. In this paper, producers' safety efforts required by Product Liability(PL) Act were reviewed in view of human error prevention, and legal aspects of manufacturers' responsibility for consumer products were discussed in relation to Product Liability Act. Then, principal approaches for them were introduced under the title of System Safety Precedence. After that, major key points for preventing human errors related with consumer products - such as ergonomic design and effective labeling - were discussed with reference to ISO standards. Therefore, it was shown that all the efforts required by PL Act would be correspondent to human error prevention in the whole manufacturing processes if understood by ergonomists. To make a conclusion, it could be said that, for human error prevention, the principle of System Safety Precedence would be indispensable, and that all the efforts for preventing human errors should be systematically organized in Product Safety Management Systems.
