2 EXPLAIN THE FORMATION ORGANISATION AND THE PURPOSE OF

THE INERNATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION ORGAINSATION (ICAO).

Representatives from 52 countries gathered in Chicago on 7th December 1944

and put their signatures on the Convention of International Civil Aviation
agreeing on certain principles and arrangements related to civil aviation.
As per the convention International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) was
formed in 4th April 1947.
In October of 1947, ICAO became a specialized agency of the United
Nations linked to the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
There are currently (as at December 2007) 190 Contracting States, including
Qatar.
The main objective of ICAO is to develop international civil aviation in a safe
and orderly manner so that international air transport services may be
established on the basis of equality of opportunity and operated soundly and
economically.
The Assembly, which comprises of representatives from all Contracting
States, is the sovereign body of ICAO. It meets every three years, reviewing
in detail the work if the Organization and setting policy for the coming years. It
also votes a triennial budget.
The Council, the governing body which is elected by the Assembly for a
three-year term, is comprised of 36 States. The Assembly chooses the Council
Member States under three headings, States of chief importance in air
transport, States that make the largest contribution to the provision of
facilities for air navigation and States whose designation will ensure that all
major areas of the world are represented.
As the governing body, the Council gives continuing direction to the work of
ICAO. It is in the Council that Standards and Recommended Practices
(SARPS) are adopted and incorporated as Annexes to the Convention on
International Civil Aviation. The council is assisted by various committees.
The Secretariat, the working group of ICAO is divided into 5 main divisions. As
Air Navigation Bureau, Air Transport Bureau, Technical Co-operation
Bureau, Legal Bureau and Administration and Services Bureau. To reflect a
truly International approach, professional personnel are recruited to the
Secretariat on a broad geographical basis.
ICAO works in close co-operation with other members of the United Nations
family such as the World Meteorological Organization, International
Telecommunications Union, Universal Postal union, World Health
Organization, International Maritime Organization, etc.
Non-Government organizations which also participate in ICAOs work include
International Air Transport Association, Airports Council International,
International Federation of Airline Pilots Associations and International
Council of Aircraft Owner and Pilots Associations
Main activity of the ICAO is commercial aviation standardization at an
international level, which it achieves through the formulation and adoption of
Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPS)
