About this statute

This Protocol supplements the Montreal Convention and requires contracting states to establish jurisdiction over certain offences in specified cases. This article adds a new offence covering intentional unlawful violence, serious damage, or service disruption at airports serving international civil aviation, and updates a cross-reference in Article 1. Each Contracting State must take necessary measures to establish jurisdiction over certain offences when the suspect is in its territory and is not extradited under Article 8. This provision says the Protocol is open for signature first for participating States in Montreal on 24 February 1988, and then for all States in London, Moscow, Washington, and Montreal after 1 March 1988. This article says the Protocol is ratified by signatory States, allows non-Contracting States to ratify if they also ratify or accede to the Convention, and requires ratification instruments to be deposited with the designated depositaries.
