reader Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 From Vietnam+ Phnom Penh (VNA) - The Senate of Cambodia on July 31 approved a draft law on the ratification of the convention on the unification of rules relating to international air transport, called the Montreal Convention 1999, local media reported. The approval was made during an extraordinary session of the fifth legislature of the Senate, held under the chairmanship of Senate President Hun Sen. The draft law was approved by the National Assembly during its second session of the seventh legislature organised on July 25 under the presidency of its President Khuon Sudary. Cambodia has been a signatory to the Montreal Convention since 1999 but has yet to ratify it. Countries in Asia that have ratified the convention include the Philippines (2015), Thailand (2017), Indonesia (2017), Vietnam (2018), Sri Lanka (2019), and Brunei (2020). With the law officially promulgated, it will allow Cambodia to legally ratify the 1999 Montreal Convention, which will eventually pave the way to further building confidence for air travellers and international air transport enterprises operating in and with Cambodia. Meanwhile, the international air transport associations are promoting the Montreal Convention to become a modern, equitable, and unique global convention to bring the quality of the aviation sector to a new height. ================ What is the Montreal Convention? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_Convention vinapu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
