Aviation security, as one of the cardinal pillars of international air law, has always been a significant concern. Achieving appropriate aviation security standards largely depends on taking security measures by States, both prior to flight and after committing an offense. This is where the importance of respecting and ensuring the human rights of air passengers and offenders, including the right to life, the right to non-discrimination and the right to privacy, is highlighted. The main reason is that not only the fundamental rights of passengers may be threatened by aviation security measures, notably by using advanced technologies, such as body scanners and Passenger Name Record (PNR), but the human rights of aviation security offenders may be endangered and violated in the process of trial. Choosing the analytical research method, this article aims at answering this main question to what extent and how human rights considerations are reflected in the international instruments on aviation security – as an important part of aviation security regime. Put it simply, this article discusses to what extent and how the existing international instruments on aviation security are successful in mirroring the human rights concerns. For this purpose, the existing legal gaps of the legal regime governing the aviation security in mirroring human rights of individuals are also analysed.
