You can say Montreal convention or Warsaw convention. The Montreal protocol is an amendment of the WArsaw convention. Some say Montreal convention.
The Warsaw convention still applies to those countries that are not signatories to the Montreal protocol. I was responding to an OP this morning from Beirut. His/Her country, Lebanon, has not ratified the Montreal protocol, so what would apply to his/her case is the Warsaw Convention as amended at the Hague.
There are even a few countries that have adopted only the unamended Warsaw convention of 1929, and none of the amendments. For those countries, what would apply is the unamended Warsaw convention of 1929.
You say that the Warsaw Convention and Montreal Convention do not address delay.
What utter nonsense!! What utter nonsense!! Look at Article 19 of the unamended Warsaw Convention, the Hague amendment, the Guadalajara Amendment and the Montreal protocol. They all say: "The carrier is liable for delay."
