Abstract

The 3T Revolution resulted in a very rapid and fundamental change in the order of human life since the beginning of the 21st century known as globalization. One of the consequences is the rapid development of transportation technology that requires fast, safe and convenient transportation, which is by aircraft. But aircrafts are vulnerable from terrorist attack known as aircraft hijacking. ICAO has laid down several international conventions on the prevention and suppression of aircraft hijacking, and the latest was Beijing Convention 2010.

As a member of the international community and especially as a member of ICAO, Indonesia can not be separated from the influence of the globalization particularly in the prevention and the suppression of aircraft hijacking. Therefore this paper will discuss more on the impact of globalization on the prevention and the suppression of aircraft hijacking in Indonesia.

The impact of globalization on the prevention and the suppression of aircraft hijacking in Indonesia appears in the form of ratification and implementation of international conventions on this matter. This is done in order to fulfill Indonesia’s obligations as a member of the ICAO, and to realize the Aims of the Republic of Indonesia. The international conventions on the prevention and the suppression of aircraft hijacking have been ratified and implemented in accordance to the national interest and must always determined, applied, sourced, based on and should not be contrary to Pancasila as the Fundamental Norms of the State, and the 1945 Constitution as the Basic Rule of the Republic of Indonesia.
