a provision that “this Convention shall not apply to aircraft used in military, customs or police services.” This appears to be a more simple way to indicate the scopeof applicabilityof theseConventions thanthe provisionsof Article3(a)and
(b) of the Chicago Convention, although the end result seems to be the same. Furthermore, the clear implication is that all aircraft not so used would be subject to the provisions of the respective Conventions.
The Convention on Damage Caused by Foreign Aircraft to Third Parties on the Surface (Rome, 1952)475 states in Article 26 that, “this Convention shall not apply to damage caused by military, customs or police aircraft.” It should be noted that a “military, customs or police aircraft” is not necessarily the same thing as an “aircraft used in military, customs and police services” although again the expres-sion “military, customs or police aircraft” was left unde.ned. Similarly, other “state” aircraft fall within the scope of the Convention. However, the 1978 Protocol to amend this Convention reverts to more familiar language; it would amend Article 26 by replacing it with, “this Convention shall not apply to damage caused by aircraft used in military, customs and police services.”
The Convention for the Uni.cation of Certain Rules Relating to the Precaution-ary Attachment ofAircraft (Rome, 1933) provides that certain categories of aircraft are exempt from precautionary attachment, including aircraft assigned exclusively to a government service, including postal services, but not commercial aircraft.

The Convention for the Uni.cation of Certain Rules Relating to International Carriage By Air (Warsaw, 1929)476 applies, inter alia to all international carriage of persons, luggage or goods performed by aircraft for reward, regardless of the classi.cation of the aircraft. Article 2 speci.cally provides that the Convention applies to carriage performed by the State or by legally constituted public bodies, but by virtue of the Additional Protocol, Parties may make a declaration at the time of rati.cation or accession that Article2(1) shall not applyto internationalcarriage performed directly by the State. The Hague Protocol of 1955 to amend this Convention, in Article XXVI allows a State to declare that the Convention as amended by the Protocol shall not apply to the carriage of persons, cargo and baggage for its military authorities on aircraft, registered in that State, the whole capacity of which has been reserved by or on behalf of such authorities. Identical provisions are contained, mutatis mutandis, in the Guatemala City Protocol of 1971 (Article XXIII) the 1975 AdditionalProtocol No.2(Montreal), the 1975 Additional
