Legal opinion on international law status of the airspace over the Crimean Peninsula after the occupation of the Crimea by the Russian Federation (in particular the competences of ICAO)

Abstracts

EN

The analysis points out that the Crimean peninsula remains an integral part of the territory of Ukraine, as the annexation of the area by the Russian Federation is null and void under the law due to the breach of generally applicable rule of international law concerning the prohibition of aggression. Therefore, only Ukraine is authorized to manage the airspace above the region. In case of any aviation accident in the territory of Crimea, it is not permissible for International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to recognize the competence of Russia in relation to carry out the investigation. Moreover, such recognition cannot ensue from an agreement between Russia and Ukraine, except for the delegation of responsibilities to investigate the accident in which a Russian plane has been involved.
