This article is taken from a talk given by the author at a Symposium in Ankara, Turkey, on 15-16 November 2013. In the opinion of the author, the objectives sought to be achieved by the Montreal Convention of 1999 [MC99], which was drafted and adopted to consolidate in one instrument and replace the patchwork "Warsaw System", are being thwarted by a number of national, regional and international developments which have evolved since MC99 came into force on 4 November 2003. Hopefully, this article will be seen and accepted by all concerned as a "clarion call" to take action to ensure that MC99 does not fail of purpose due to these developments which, if not acted upon and reversed, present a "clear and present" danger that MC99 may very well fail of its intended purpose.
