To the Senate of the United States: With a view to receiving the advice and consent of the Senate to ratification, I transmit herewith the Convention on the Suppression of Unlawful Acts Relating to International Civil Aviation (the ‘‘Bei- jing Convention’’), adopted by the International Civil Aviation Or- ganization International Conference on Air Law (Diplomatic Con- ference on Aviation Security) in Beijing on September 10, 2010, and signed by the United States on that same date. I also transmit, for the information of the Senate, the report of the Department of State with respect to the Beijing Convention. The Beijing Convention is an important component of inter- national efforts to prevent and punish both terrorism targeting civil aviation and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. As between parties to the Beijing Convention, it replaces and super- sedes the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts Against the Safety of Civil Aviation, done at Montreal, September 23, 1971, and its supplementary protocol, the Protocol for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts of Violence at Airports Serving International Civil Aviation, done at Montreal, February 24, 1988. It significantly strengthens the existing international counterterrorism legal framework and facilitates the prosecution and extradition of those who seek to commit acts of terror, including acts such as those committed on September 11, 2001. The Beijing Convention establishes the first international treaty framework that criminalizes certain terrorist acts, including using an aircraft in a terrorist activity and certain acts relating to the transport of weapons of mass destruction or related materials by aircraft. The Beijing Convention requires States Parties to crim- inalize specified acts under their domestic laws and to cooperate to prevent and investigate suspected crimes under the Beijing Con- vention. It includes an ‘‘extradite or prosecute’’ obligation with re- spect to persons accused of committing, attempting to commit, con- spiring to commit, or aiding in the commission of such offenses. Some changes to United States law will be needed for the United States to implement provisions of the Beijing Convention obligating the United States to criminalize certain offenses, make those of- fenses punishable by appropriate penalties, and authorize the as- sertion of jurisdiction over such offenses. Proposed legislation is being separately transmitted by my Administration to the Con- gress. I recommend that the Senate give early and favorable consider- ation to the Beijing Convention, subject to a reservation and cer- (III) VerDate Sep 11 2014 05:50 Jun 20, 2020 Jkt 990118 PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 7633 Sfmt 7633 E:\HR\OC\TD003.XXX TD003 dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING IV tain understandings that are described in the accompanying report of the Department of State.

The PRESIDENT, The White House. MR. PRESIDENT: I have the honor to submit to you, with a view to its transmission to the Senate for advice and consent to ratifica- tion, subject to a reservation and certain understandings set forth in the enclosed overview, the Convention on the Suppression of Un- lawful Acts Relating to International Civil Aviation (‘‘the Beijing Convention’’), adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organi- zation International Conference on Air Law (Diplomatic Conference on Aviation Security) in Beijing on September 10, 2010, and signed by the United States on that same date. The Beijing Convention is an important component of international efforts to prevent and punish both terrorism targeting civil aviation and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. It strengthens the legal basis for international cooperation in the investigation, prosecution, and ex- tradition of those who commit or aid terrorist acts aboard or against aircraft and those who traffic in weapons of mass destruc- tion aboard aircraft. As of March 2, 2020, 33 States have deposited their instruments of ratification, acceptance, approval, or accession, and an additional 21 States have signed the Beijing Convention but not yet deposited an instrument of ratification, acceptance, or approval. An overview of the Convention, including a detailed article-by-article analysis, is enclosed with this Report. Recommended legislation necessary to implement the Beijing Convention is being prepared for separate submission to Congress. The Departments of Justice, Homeland Se- curity, Defense, and Energy join in recommending that the Beijing Convention be transmitted to the Senate at an early date for its advice and consent to ratification, subject to a reservation pursuant to Article 20(2) and the understandings to Articles 6(2) and 11. With the exception of the provisions that obligate the United States to criminalize certain offenses, make those offenses punish- able by appropriate penalties, and authorize the assertion of juris- diction over such offenses, the Beijing Convention is self-executing. Included among the self-executing provisions are those provisions obligating the United States to treat certain offenses as extra- ditable offenses for purposes of bilateral extradition treaties. None of the provisions of the Beijing Convention, including Articles 9 and 11, confer private rights enforceable in United States courts. I recommend, therefore, that you transmit the Beijing Conven- tion to the Senate for its advice and consent to ratification.

  • 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.
