Aut dedere(extradition) is an erga omnesobligation towards the international community aimedat closing the gate of safe haven so that the international criminal will face the consequence of his heinous act directed at the international communityfrom the requesting state. The term aut dederehas not been used in conventions or treaties untiltheeighteenthcentury.This paper examines the necessity of integrating the doctrine of 'aut dedere' (extradition) into International Aviation Conventions to combat civil aviation offensesand seeks toexploreits treatment under Islamic law, and the potential for punishment for refusal to extradite offenders. Through doctrinal legal research, the paper reveals that while aut dedereis obligatory under conventional law, it lacks enforceability without associated punishments. Conversely, extradition under Islamic law is deemed mandatory due to its universal nature. The paper underscores the relevance of Islamic jurisprudence in moderninternational legal frameworks and recommends amendments to International Civil Aviation Organization conventions to enforce extradition provisions and recognize civil aviation crimes as international offences, consistentwith Islamic legal principles.
