The IAIS issues Principles, Standards and Guidance to help insurance supervisors set regulations and carry out their role in supervising insurance companies.

IATA Inter-Carrier Agreements on Passenger Liability

Following the 1995 Kuala Lumpur conference the IATA Inter-Carrier Agreement (IIA) waived limits on liability for injury to passengers. Subsequently, the IATA Implementing Agreement (MIA) waived the defence in Article 20 (all necessary measures to avoid the damage had been taken, etc.) of the Warsaw Convention up to 100,000 SDRs but the original Article 22 limits should remain in respect of public liability insurance or similar bodies. All UK carriers are required through their air transport licences to increase their limits to 100,000 SDRs. See INTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION and EU REGULATION 2027/97.
