In legal terms, a "person" in Black's Law Dictionary, and generally in law, refers to any individual or entity recognized as having rights and duties under the law.
A Russian pilot who crashes in the United States would have certain rights and protections under US and international law
.
Detention: U.S. immigration law allows for the detention of foreign nationals, particularly those entering without authorization or with possible security concerns. A Russian pilot crashing in the US could be considered an "arriving alien" without immediate legal right to enter and might be detained.
Asylum Claim: If the pilot fears persecution in Russia based on protected grounds (race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group), they could potentially apply for asylum. However, there have been reports of increasing detention and denied access to the asylum process for Russian citizens using certain programs to enter the US.
Criminal Charges: If the crash resulted from an intentional act or violation of US airspace rules, the pilot could face criminal charges. Crossing the border without permission is also a crime in the US.
Rights While Detained or Arrested:
Right to Remain Silent: The pilot has the right to remain silent and not answer questions from law enforcement or immigration agents.
Right to Consular Notification: The pilot has the right to have their country's consular representatives notified of their detention.
Humane Treatment: Under international law, individuals not taking part in hostilities must be treated humanely. This includes protection against violence, mutilation, cruel treatment, and torture.
