International Court of Justice
I told you peeps in a (pb) ...7/17/89-7/17/19...[Done in 30]Q
(real example of 1985 : a Lebanese man hijacks a Jordanian airplane after having taken American hostages), the authorities that are able to arrest the offender first won't bother judging him, but then the other countries who claim to have jurisdiction can go before the International Court of Justice, that will decide who really has jurisdiction.
This is the basic, general rule stated in the international conventions of Montreal (1971) and New York (1979) concerning crimes committed on an airplane.
1405. Special Aircraft Jurisdiction of the United States
An aircraft is "in flight" from the moment when all external doors are closed following embarkation until the moment when one such door is opened for disembarkation, or in the case of a forced landing, until competent authorities take responsibility for the aircraft. 49 U.S.C. § 46501(1).
The "special aircraft jurisdiction" defined in 49 U.S.C. § 46501(2) (formerly 49 U.S.C. App. § 1301(38)) should be distinguished from the aircraft jurisdiction defined in subsection (5) of 18 U.S.C. § 7 (special maritime and territorial jurisdiction). See this Manual at 673.
