Extract

Last year the International Review published an article by Général-Major médecin E. Evrard on the legal protection of medical air transports in time of war. We now have pleasure in reproducing the text of a preliminary report submitted to the Vth Session of the Medico-Legal Commission of Monaco. Indeed, studies must be continued in this sphere in which the provisions of international law are at present inadequate. (Ed.)
