The International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO), a specialized agency of the United Nations, codifies
the principles and techniques of international air navigation and fosters
the planning and development of international air transport to ensure safe
and orderly growth. Its headquarters are located in the Quartier
International of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
The ICAO Council adopts standards and recommended practices concerning air
navigation, its infrastructure, Flight inspection, prevention of unlawful
interference, and facilitation of border-crossing procedures for
international civil aviation. In addition, the ICAO defines the protocols
for air accident investigation followed by transport safety authorities in
countries signatory to the Convention on International Civil Aviation,
commonly known as the Chicago Convention.
The ICAO should not be confused with the International Air Transport
Association (IATA), a trade organization for airlines also headquartered in
Montreal, or with the Civil Air Navigation Services Organisation (CANSO), an
organization for Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSP's) with its
headquarters at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol in the Netherlands.
The 9th edition of the Convention on International Civil Aviation includes
modifications from 1948 up to year 2006. The ICAO refers to its current
edition of the Convention as the statute, and designates it as ICAO Doc
7300/9. The Convention has 18 Annexes. These Annexes are listed by title in
the article Convention on International Civil Aviation.
