1.
This Convention shall apply in respect of:
- a)
offences against penal law;
- b)
acts which, whether or not they are offences, may or do jeopardize the safety of the aircraft or of persons or property therein or which jeopardize good order and discipline on board.
2.
Except as provided in Chapter III, this Convention shall apply in respect of offences committed or acts done by a person on board any aircraft registered in a Contracting State, while that aircraft is in flight or on the surface of the high seas or of any other area outside the territory of any State.
3.
For the purposes of this Convention:
- a)
an aircraft is considered to be in flight at any time from the moment when all its external doors are closed following embarkation until the moment when any such door is opened for disembarkation; in the case of a forced landing, the flight shall be deemed to continue until the competent authorities take over the responsibility for the aircraft and for persons and property on board; and
- b)
when the State of the operator is not the same as the State of registration, the term “the State of registration”, as used in Articles 4, 5 and 13 of the Convention shall be deemed to be the State of the operator.
4.
This Convention shall not apply to aircraft used in military, customs or police services.
