Which conventions specifically address the issue of hijackings?

The correct answer lies in the fact that the Tokyo Convention, Hague Convention, and Montreal Convention were developed specifically to address issues related to the hijacking of aircraft and acts of unlawful interference with civil aviation.

The Tokyo Convention, adopted in 1963, specifically prescribes the rights and duties of states concerning the prevention of offenses and the prosecution of offenders involved in aircraft hijackings. It lays down the legal framework for addressing situations where an aircraft is unlawfully seized, ensuring that laws are in place to arrest and prosecute perpetrators.

The Hague Convention, adopted in 1970, complements this by establishing measures against unlawful acts directed at the safety of civil aviation. This includes provisions for the suppression of hijacking and stipulations about extradition and jurisdiction.

The Montreal Convention, adopted in 1971, adds to both by focusing on criminal acts against international civil aviation and provides compensation for victims. It serves as a comprehensive legal instrument to combat hijackings and enhance air travel safety.

In contrast to these conventions, the Geneva Conventions primarily focus on humanitarian treatment in war and armed conflict, while the Paris Agreement deals with climate change and environmental concerns. The Vienna Convention relates to diplomatic relations and does not specifically address the issue of hijackings or air travel
