UNITED NATIONS (JTA) —
. The United Nations has released
the text of a draft treaty contain-
ing measure's to combat aeiral hi-
jacking and eliminating safe haven
for hijackers.
The draft was adopted by the
legal committee of the Interna-
tional Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO) at its 17th session in Mon-
treal. It will be taken up at an in-
ternational diplomatic conference
to be held at the Hague Dec. 1-16
at which time it could be estab-
lished as an instrument of inter-
national agreement.
The ICAO draft deals with act;
of violence or intimidation directed
to seizing control of an aircraft in
flight. It contains provisions con-
cerning the prosecution and severe
punishment of such offenders, and
any state in w'oich an offender is
found shall have the obligation to
detain him, pending a decision of
the authorities to prosecute him or
to respond for a request or extra-
dition.
Knesset member Yohannan Ba-
der said that Israel would raise
the question of air piracy and
means of countering it at the In-
ternational Parliamentary Asso-
ciation meeting this w e e k in
Monaco. He said Israel would also
propose immediate acceptance by
both sides of the United Nations'
Middle East cease fire. Joining Ba-
der in Monaco will be Knesset
members Chaim Zadok and Moshe
Carmel.
