In recent years, there has been an increase in offences by way of unlawful seizure of aircraft or hijacking. A Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Seizure of Aircraft was drawn up at the diplomatic conference held at The Hague in December, 1970 for adoption by States, by the representatives of 77 Governments. For dealing more effectively with offences involving unlawful seizure of aircraft or hijacking, it is proposed that India should ratify this Convention. The ratification of the Convention involves obligation for making necessary legal provisions for giving effect thereto. #doc
