Abstract: Terrorism should be considered as a nightmare of modern world. Historically, transportation systems have attracted terrorist attacks. The offence of unlawful interference against aviation security should be considered as a world's famous form of acts of terrorism in the world. Although human history has been accompanied with a large number of acts of terror and violence against international air navigation with various goals and motivations, but the current age is called as the age of terrorism because such intimidating phenomenon has a fundamental differences with its predecessor in terms of goals, motivation and geographical scope. In recent decades, the security of civil aviation has been threatened by new wave of terrorist attacks and other unlawful acts against commercial aviation with different motivation and purpose . For such reason, the strengthening of aviation security under auspices of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) against various forms of threats and offences have been one of the most challenging debates among politicians and legal commentators. This Article deals with approaches to strength the protection of aviation security under the ICAO auspices. It should be noted that the development of aviation-related security depends on compromising between what could be done and what needed to be done among states. It should be determined how the international society undertakes to adopt various forms of legal and technical measures in order to prosecute and punish severely the alleged offender and what should be done to improve existing international legal and regulatory regime concerning aviation security.
