1. In accordance with their rights and obligations under international law, the Parties reaffirm their obligation to each other to protect the security of civil aviation against acts of unlawful interference. Without prejudice to their rights and obligations under international law, the Parties shall act particularly in accordance with the terms of the Convention on Offences and Certain Other Acts Committed on Board Aircraft signed in Tokyo on 14 September 1963, the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Seizure of Aircraft, signed at The Hague on 16 December 1970, the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Civil Aviation, signed at Montreal on 23 September 1971, and the Protocol for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts of Violence at Airports Serving International Civil Aviation signed at Montreal on 24 February 1988, supplementary to the Montreal Convention of 1971. 2. The Parties shall provide upon request all necessary assistance to each other to prevent acts of unlawful seizure of civil aircraft and other unlawful acts against the safety of such aircraft, of their passengers and crew, and of airports and air navigation facilities, and to address any other threat to aviation security. 3. The Parties shall, in their mutual relations, act in conformity with the aviation security provisions established by the International Civil Aviation Organization and designated as Annexes to the Convention provided these security provisions are applicable to the Parties; they shall require that operators of aircraft of their registry, operators of aircraft who have their principal place of business or permanent residence in their territory, and the operators of airports in their territory act in conformity with such aviation security provisions. 4. Each Party agrees that these operators of aircraft can be requested by the other Party to observe the security provisions mentioned in paragraph 3 of this Article for entry into, for departure from, and while within the territory of the other Party and to take adequate measures to protect aircraft and to inspect passengers, crew, and their baggage and carry-on items, as well as cargo and aircraft stores, prior to and during boarding or loading. A Party shall also give positive consideration to any request from another Party for special security measures to meet a particular security threat. 5. When an incident or threat of an incident of unlawful seizure of aircraft or other unlawful acts against the security of passengers, crew, aircraft, airports or air navigation facilities occurs, the Parties shall assist each other by facilitating communications and other appropriate measures intended to terminate rapidly and safely such incident or threat. 6. When a Party has reasonable grounds to believe that another Party has departed from the civil aviation security provisions of this Article, the Aeronautical Authorities of that Party may request immediate actions by the Aeronautical Authorities of the other Party. Failure to reach a satisfactory agreement within 14 days from the date of such request and if required by an emergency a Party may withhold, revoke, limit or impose conditions on the operating authorization and technical permits of an airline or airlines of that Party. The specific security concerns shall be subsequently subjected to the procedures of Article 15 of the Agreement.
