Aerial Incident of 27 July 1955 (United States of America v.

Bulgaria)

OVERVIEW OF THE CASE

This case arose out of the incident which was the subject of the proceedings in the case
concerning the Aerial Incident of 27 July 1955 (Israel v. Bulgaria). The aircraft destroyed by
Bulgarian anti-aircraft defence forces was carrying several United States nationals, who all lost
their lives. Their Government asked the Court to find Bulgaria liable for the losses thereby caused
and to award damages. Bulgaria filed preliminary objections to the Court’s jurisdiction, but, before
hearings were due to open, the United States informed the Court of its decision, after further
consideration, not to proceed with its application. Accordingly, the case was removed from the List
by an Order of 30 May 1960.
