What is ICAO?
Kyoto University, Japan/6 July 2017
The Convention on International Civil Aviation, drafted and signed in Chicago in 1944, was established to promote multilateral cooperation on global airspace management and, per its aspirational Preamble, to:
“create and preserve friendship and understanding among the nations and peoples of the world.”
History
The Chicago Convention established the core principles permitting international transport by air among its Signatory States, and it furthermore prescribed the need for a new multilateral agency to oversee its development and ongoing amendment.
By 1945 this agency was formalized as the International Civil Aviation Organization, or ‘ICAO’, Headquartered in Montreal, Canada.
History
Today, no less than 191 Member States are party to the landmark Chicago Convention, and they have cooperated extensively through ICAO over the decades to reach consensus on more than 12,000 civil aviation Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) and policies.
Mission and Role
These 12,000+ ICAO provisions subsequently permit States to develop national civil aviation regulations which are globally harmonized.
And these harmonized regulations in turn support the safe, secure and efficient operation of more than 100,000 worldwide commercial flights, each and every day.
Mission and Role
ICAO is also actively engaged in fostering aviation development, which refers to a wide range of infrastructure, human resources, training, and related assistance and capacity-building activities.
Aviation Development
The ultimate goal of these efforts is to realize a safe and efficient air transport foundation in a given State, consistent with ICAO’s Standards and Strategic Objectives. This helps to ensure that allStates and Regions have the opportunity to realize the significant socio-economic benefits of safe and reliable air transport services.
Leaving ‘No Country Left Behind’
In addition to fostering cooperation between world governments, ICAO also provides a forum where airline, airport and air navigation services operators, aircraft and avionics manufacturers, pilot and controller associations, and other industry groups, can contribute to the development of new air transport guidance and procedures.

Current Issues and Challenges
Nabil Naoumi – ANC
Delegtion of Germany to ICAO
Global Aviation Safety Plan (GASP)
• Update the GASP (2020-2022 Edition), in close coordination with
States, industry, RASGs and other stakeholders, emphasizing on the
relationship between building effective safety oversight and
performing operational safety risk management
• Establish a systematic review and amendment process as part of the
progressive evolution to performance-based Standards and
Recommended Practices (SARPs) and guidance material
Global Air Navigation Plan (GANP)
• Continue the work in preparation for the next GANP update, taking into account the following:
• improve the link with the GASP
• formulate global performance objectives and a global ATM vision consistent with the Global Air Traffic Management Operational Concept (Doc 9854)
• enhance global ATM architecture to increase understanding of the dependencies between the GANP modules and elements
• identify GANP essential improvements based on well-defined criteria
• expand GANP lifecycle through three-year minor and six-year major updates as relevant
Objectives, priorities and enablers of
the GASP, priorities of the GANP, and the USOAP CMA
Encourage States to provide data on their progress and status of
implementation and urge them to provide timely reports of their progress
in implementing USOAP corrective action plans (CAPs) and performing
self-assessments on the online framework (OLF)
Aircraft tracking
• Complete the development of the Global Aeronautical Distress and
Safety System (GADSS) Concept of Operations and publish the
associated guidance material for States
• Promote the development of efficient search and rescue (SAR)
capabilities in the Africa-Indian Ocean (AFI) Region, and support
initiatives already underway to achieve this
Remotely piloted aircraft system
(RPAS)
Develop guidance material to support safe RPAS/UAS operations
including awareness and educational campaigns amongst users and to
promote the exchange of information amongst States regarding their
unmanned aviation regulations
Conflict zones
• the Council to reconsider the inclusion of conflict zones in the work
programme of the Legal Committee
• encourage States to engage in information sharing
• review all relevant Annex provisions
• Ensure that the Conflict Zone Information Repository (CZIR)
operations are consistent with the Convention and the Code of
Conduct for Sharing and Using Safety Information
Safety management
• Develop/update guidance material to address challenges faced by
States in implementing the recent amendment to Annex 19 — Safety
Management and updates required to the State safety programme
(SSP) gap analysis
• Communicate to States that a voluntary SSP audit on a
non-confidential basis will start in January 2018 and that an SSP
audit will commence in 2020 for States meeting the criteria to be
established by ICAO in line with the GASP
Halon alternatives for aircraft fire suppression systems
• Portable fire extinguisher halon replacement provisions: Annex 6 —Operation of Aircraft (2018)
• Continue collaboration with the International Aircraft Systems Fire Protection Working Group and the United Nations Environment Programme’s (UNEP) Ozone Secretariat through its Technology and Economic Assessment Panel’s Halons Technical Options Committee on the topic of halon alternatives for civil aviation
• The replacement of halon in cargo compartment fire suppression systems used in aircraft for which application for type certification will be submitted (2024)
Dangerous goods
• Lithium-Batteries / PEDs
• MDCSG
Aerodromes
Develop SARPs to support States in regulating firms that provide aircraft
ground handling services and continue the work in relation to the
guidance material supporting the implementation of the future Standards
Remote air traffic services (ATS)
Refer matters raised to the relevant expert group, the need to take into
account human factors principles and the potential for the utilization of
performance-based provisions and guidance
Cybersecurity, cyber-safety and cyber
resilience
• Develop provisions for managing current and future cyber-threats
and vulnerabilities
• In coordination with AVSEC Panel, Communications Panel, RPAS
Panel and Information Management Panel, develop initial draft
provisions
