The internationally accepted ingredients of the offence of "aircraft hijacking" are found in which one among the following International Conventions on Aviation Security ?
Explanation
The Hague Convention of 1970 (formally the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Seizure of Aircraft) is the definitive international treaty that establishes the legal framework and "ingredients" for the offence of aircraft hijacking. It defines the act as an unlawful seizure or exercise of control of an aircraft in flight by force, threat, or intimidation.
- Tokyo Convention (1963): The first major aviation security treaty; it dealt with jurisdiction and the powers of the aircraft commander but did not specifically define or criminalize hijacking.
- Montreal Convention (1971): Focuses on the suppression of unlawful acts against the safety of civil aviation, primarily targeting sabotage, bombings, and ground-based attacks rather than hijacking.
- Chicago Convention (1944): The foundational treaty of international civil aviation which established the ICAO but predates specific criminal legal frameworks for hijacking.
