Air crash news review
Within the framework of current international law, the state has no obligation to accept the entry of international disaster relief teams and their personnel. Disasters may occur within the jurisdiction of a country or in the international public domain beyond the jurisdiction of a country. Such as the high seas, Antarctica, etc. Some international disasters may also have an impact on a country. For disasters that occur in a country or cause consequences in a country, the entry of disaster rescue teams depends on the host government. Because based on national sovereignty, a country has the highest territorial jurisdiction over its territory. Whether a country allows foreigners to enter the country is entirely within the scope of national sovereignty. The international community has been working hard to simplify the entry procedures and requirements for international disaster relief teams and their personnel. 1977 "The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and the United Nations Economic and Social Council adopted the Measures for Accelerating International Rescue, which requires that all countries should be exempted from visa requirements when aid workers, as representatives of internationally recognized relief agencies, perform their duties in transit. In many bilateral rescue treaties, "countries usually exempt emergency rescue personnel from visa requirements, and even exempt the other government from passport control." "For example, article 4 of the agreement between Denmark and Germany on mutual assistance in the event of disasters or serious accidents (1985). Although some international documents do not explicitly mention exemption from visa requirements, they call on countries to facilitate the entry of rescuers. For example, in 2002, the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution 57/ 150, in which it "urged all countries" to simplify or reduce, as appropriate, customs and administrative procedures for the entry, transit, stay and exit of international urban search and rescue teams and their equipment and materials in accordance with measures applicable to their public safety and national security, and "took into account the guidelines of the International Search and Rescue Advisory Group", especially regarding visas for rescuers and their animal quarantine. Similar contents also appeared in the ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response in 2005, the Inter-American Convention to Facilitate Disaster Relief adopted in 199 1 and the Tampere Convention on the Provision of Telecommunication Resources for Disaster Mitigation and Relief Operations in 1998. If concealing the facts leads to the problem of rescue responsibility, it is diplomatic responsibility first, then civil compensation, and finally criminal responsibility. General criminal responsibility is a violation of the laws of war and a crime against humanity. If you really want to investigate the responsibility of the Malay government, then at most it is diplomatic and civil compensation. If there is a terrorist attack, it depends on whether it is a terrorist organization or a government act. Off-topic, when Mi Ying and China held Libya responsible for the Lockerbie air crash and imposed economic sanctions on other countries for many years, it was a high-end situation. . . . . .
