Abstract:
In the face of the changes in new risks and new threats to international air transport, the Beijing Convention has systematically revised the types of aviation offences under the 1971 Montreal Convention as well as its airpotrs protocol. To ensure that the Beijing Convention can successfully converge with domestic legislation after its ratification in China, it is necessary to explore the new offences in the Beijing Convention and their corresponding charges under Criminal Law of the People’s Republic of China. As a result, the paper analyzes the relationship between the offences covered by international conventions and Criminal Law of the People’s Republic of China, their applicable theories and difference in defining offences, as well as the regulation of new offences, threating behaviors and participation in the offences under the Beijing Convention. Meanwhile, according to the provisions of Criminal Law of the People’s Republic of China, the paper explores the possible charges that may be constituted by each type of new offences, and the key points and difficulties in the identification of each charge.
