  • The Urgency of Ratification of the 2010 Beijing Convention Concerning Enforcement of Unlawful Acts Against International Civil Aviation
    E-ISSN 2281-4612 Academic Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies Vol 9 No 2 March 2020 ISSN 2281-3993 www.richtmann.org . Research Article © 2020 Prabandari et.al.. This is an open access article licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/) The Urgency of Ratification of the 2010 Beijing Convention Concerning Enforcement of Unlawful Acts against International Civil Aviation Adya Paramita Prabandari Peni Susetyorini Darminto Hartono International Law Department, Faculty of Law, Diponegoro University, Indonesia Doi: 10.36941/ajis-2020-0020 Abstract Aviation is a mass transportation mode that is transnational (across national borders) that has a high level of security and safety. However, the phenomenon of unlawful acts in international civil aviation is a factor that greatly disrupts the security and safety of aviation. As a member of ICAO, Indonesia is responsible for continuing to keep up of developments in international civil aviation arrangements and making them part of national law, which is of course adapted to national interests. However, until now Indonesia has not ratified the 2010 Beijing Convention. The problem that will be discussed in this study is the urgency of the ratification of the 2010 Beijing Convention on the Suppression of Unlawful Acts relating to International Civil Aviation in Indonesia. This research is normative juridical research that uses secondary data as research material. The results show that as an ICAO member state, Indonesia is urged to immediately ratify the 2010 Beijing Convention as a means of providing legal protection, both preventive and repressive. The ratification is also to enforce laws as a manifestation of Indonesia characterization as a state of law.

BOOK REVIEW: INTRODUCTION TO AVIATION LAW By Timothy M. Ravich Paul Stephen Dempsey* Legal historian Stuart Banner has declared air law dead, observing the declining number of U.S. educational programs in aviation law and law professors teaching it.1 As he explains, “Air law ceased to be a useful category when the airplane was no longer a novelty.”2 Professor Robert Jarvis disagrees: “Aviation law, after years of languishing on the sidelines, currently is enjoying unprecedented popularity in American law schools. [S]ome of the attention is due to the fact that, for the first time in history, instructors can choose from three competing aviation law casebooks.”3 Now there is a fourth—Introduction to Aviation Law by Professor Timothy M. Ravich of the University of Central Florida4—as well as a plethora of texts and treatises published in the last two decades alone.5 Aviation law is alive and well.

However, aviation security has been an area of international concern since 1944, when the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) was established with a membership of fifty-two states (currently 191). Shortly after the establishment of the ICAO, its assembly adopted a resolution that brought into force its relationship with the UN, making the ICAO a specialized agency of the United Nations. As such, the ICAO and the UN have benefitted from each other through an increased ability to deliver and facilitate technical assistance to member states. As early as 1959, the ICAO Legal Committee recommended a convention to fill the gap in jurisdiction for offenses that had taken place over the high seas, in response to an increase in the number of aircraft hijackings.
