The Hague Hijacking Convention (formally the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Seizure of Aircraft) is a multilateral treaty by which states agree to prohibit and punish aircraft hijacking.
The convention only addresses situations in which an aircraft takes off or lands in a place different from its country of registration.
The convention was adopted by the International Conference on Air Law at The Hague on 16 December 1970.
The convention has 185 state parties, which includes 183 UN members plus the Cook Islands and Niue.
In 2010 in Beijing, the Protocol Supplementary to the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Seizure of Aircraft was adopted.
