航空承运人强制责任保险制度之检讨与反思——纪念1999年《蒙特利尔公约》实施10周年
Self-Criticism and Reflection on the Mandatory Liability Insurance of Air Carrier—Commemorating the Tenth Anniversary of the Implementation of “Montreal Convention”
-
摘要: 航空承运人强制责任保险制度在国际航空运输责任立法的新时期具有先进性和前瞻性,对保护航空运输事故受害人权益具有一定的积极作用。自2003年生效实施10年来,公约规定的责任保险的范围、投保的主体以及保险额的界定等问题在理解和运用上存在模糊性和不确定性,对实践构成极大羁绊,具有“软法”性质,实则是一个空虚的法律构架,容易造成“统一”的公约出现“非统一”的怪状。2013年正值公约实施10周年之际,有必要对该制度存在的问题进行检讨,以实现公约适用的统一价值和落实公约义务。鉴此,在修订中国《民用航空法》时,建议补充责任保险的内容,明确保险的范围、最低保险要求和违反保险要求时的制裁措施。Abstract: Mandatory liability insurance system of air carrier is an advanced and prospective measure in the new era of legislation of international carriage by air and has some positive effects for protecting victims'interests in aviation accidents. However, there are some unclear and perplexing points in its interpretation and application, such as scope of liability insurance, subjects of main insurer and amount of insurance, which constitute certain barriers for actual practices since its implementation for ten years from 2003. It has the characteristics of the"soft law". As an empty legal framework, it is prone to give rise to"non-uniform"irregularities in a"uniform"convention. This year marks the tenth anniversary of the implementation of "Montreal Convention", it is necessary for us to carry out self-examinations of its existing problems, in order to achieve the convention's uniform value and fulfill the treaty's obligations. Meanwhile, China's Civil Aviation Law should better supplement the articles on liability insurance and clarify the scope of insurance, minimum standard of insurance and sanction measures in the violation of insurance requirements.
