Legal pitfalls after emergency landing

The most questionable part of this scenario is whether in fact “everybody has to exit the airplane.” Per the International Air Services Transit Agreement of 1944, aircraft experiencing technical difficulties are allowed to land in signatory nations, however they are NOT permitted to deplane passengers or cargo.

In the situation you describe, passengers would be confined to the aircraft until it could be repaired, or a replacement vessel could be provided. They would not be allowed to enter the airport, or proceed to customs.
