5.8 Nepalese Law on Anti-Hijacking

The treaty layer: Nepal's party-status in the Big Three (the Tokyo-Hague-Montreal 1971 family — the implementation's duty); the 2010 Beijing faces' adherence to be confirmed (the current-table check). The domestic law: the Criminal Code 2074's offences (the hijacking-and- endangerment provisions: the aircraft's seizure-or-control's taking, the sabotage's faces, the transport-endangerment — the Code's Chapter on the public-safety offences); the Civil Aviation Act 2053's security-and-offence provisions (the aerodrome's-and-the aircraft's unlawful-acts faces; the penalties); the Criminal Procedure Code 2074's machinery (the prosecution's route; the jurisdiction over the aircraft's-and-airport's crimes — the Code's extraterritorial faces for the treaty offences); and the CAAN's security regime (the airport security's-and-the Annex-17 implementation). The Nepali experience: the 1999 Indian Airlines Flight 814 hijacking's origin at Kathmandu (the IC-814's Kandahar end: the security failure's lessons — the airport's overhaul, the India-Nepal aviation-security diplomacy's long shadow) — the case study the exam expects; the subsequent security regime's hardening (the TIA's-and-the airports' modernisation; the screening-and-watchlist faces).
