2.4 International Law and Procedure on Registration of Aircraft

The treaty framework: the Chicago Convention's Article 17-21 (the nationality's definition; the registry's maintenance; the display of the marks); the Geneva Convention on International Recognition of Rights in Aircraft 1948 (the property-and-interests' recognition — the sale-and- mortgage's validity across the borders); the Cape Town Convention 2001 (the mobile equipment's secured interests — the aircraft's international registry: the creditor's rights, the default remedies, the insolvency's disciplines — the leasing-and-financing world's law).
