"ATC liability and the perspectives of the global GNSS" : (is an International Convention viable?)

Since the 1930's several International Organizations and the State of Argentina have attempted to draft an International Convention on Air Traffic Control Liability. All such attempts, however, failed. / Although justified reasons favoured an International Agreement on the subject-matter, it seems that the reasons for the failures of these different Drafts are very understandable. Among them is that if States do ratify an Air Traffic Control Liability Convention, it will automatically infringe a part of their sovereignty. / Despite the fact that a subject as important as this one requires careful study, it cannot be said that it has not been properly addressed, and it is evident that final conclusions can now be reached. An international solution should be abandoned. Two possibilities remain, as a compromise for the unification of laws in that matter, that is either a regional agreement among the different regions of the World or a Model Agreement which States would implement in their national laws. Conflict of laws and reliance upon a specified regulation of the subject-matter may be an even better solution.
