MCGILL CONFERENCE ON INTERNATIONAL AVIATION LIABILITY & INSURANCE Liability for Acts of Terrorism: The New Unlawful Interference Convention General The Convention on Compensation for Damage to Third Parties, Resulting from Acts of Unlawful Interference Involving Aircraft (Unlawful Interference Convention – UIC) was adopted 2 May UIC is the answer in international law to the financial threat of terrorism. It builds largely on the experiences of 9/11.

MCGILL CONFERENCE ON INTERNATIONAL AVIATION LIABILITY & INSURANCE Liability for Acts of Terrorism: The New Unlawful Interference Convention OBJECTIVES UIC recognizes that, with regard to terrorism, we are all victims. It has two goals: 1. Provide the basis for full compensation to victims of terrorism targeting civil aviation 2. Give protection for the financial situation of the aviation sector in case of such terrorism

MCGILL CONFERENCE ON INTERNATIONAL AVIATION LIABILITY & INSURANCE Liability for Acts of Terrorism: The New Unlawful Interference Convention Basic principles UIC turns away from old concepts of fault and blame. Instead it tries to build a fair system for risk management and spreading of the financial burden. UIC further builds on modern principles of strict liability in order to simplify claims handling as in MC99 but this shall in no way be viewed as putting any blame on the liable persons.
