Press Release on Air-Hijacking

Analytical Studies
G7 Summits > 1979 Tokyo Summit

As read by Japanese prime minister Masayoshi Ohira at the press conference in Tokyo on June 29, 1979

The Heads of State and Government expressed their pleasure with the broad support expressed by other States for the Declaration on Hijacking made at the Bonn Summit in July 1978. They noted that procedures for the prompt implementation of the Declaration have been agreed upon and that to date enforcement measures under the Declaration have not been necessary.

They also noted with satisfaction the widespread adherence to the conventions dealing with unlawful interference with international civil aviation.

The extensive support for these conventions and the Bonn Declaration on Hijacking reflects the acceptance by the international community as a whole of the principles expressed therein.
