In expressing the wish "that there be named in the near future a special committee of experts entrusted with preparing the continuation of the work of the conference", the first international conference on private air law, meeting in Paris from 26 October to 6 November 1925, laid the foundation of the inter- national body which, for some twenty years, up till the end of the second world war, was entrusted with the international codification of private air law. It was in May 1926 that the Comite International Technique d'Experts Juridiques ACriens, more widely known under its abbreviated name of CITEJA, was created at Paris. From 1926 until 1947, date of its dissolution, CITEJA held sixteen sessions and drew up the draft conventions which were to become the Convention for the unification of certain rules relating to international carriage by air, signed at Warsaw on 12 October 1929 the Convention for the unification of certain rules relating to damage caused by aircraft to third parties on the surface, signed at Rome on 29 May 1933 the Convention for the unification of certain rules relating to the pre- cautionary attachment of aircraft, signed at Rome on 29 May 1933 the Additional Protocol to the Convention for the unification of certain rules relating to damage caused by aircraft to third parties on the surface, signed at Brussels on 29 September 1938 the Convention for the unification of certain rules relating to assistance and salvage of aircraft or by aircraft at sea, signed at Brussels on 29 September 1938, The International Civil Aviation Conference, held at Chicago from 1 November to 7 December 1944, recommended in a resolution appearing in its Final Act, "that the various governments represented at this International Civil Aviation Conference give consideration to the desirability of bringing about the resumption at the earliest possible date of the CITEJA sessions which were suspended because of the outbreak of war .. ." and "that consideration also be given by the various governments to the desirability of co-ordinating the activities
of CITEJA with those of the Provisional International Civil Aviation Organiz- ation and after it shall have come into existence, of the permanent International Civil Aviation Organization established pursuant to the Convention on Inter- national Civil Aviation drawn up at Chicago on December 7, 1944". As a result of this resolution, the CITEJA met in Paris and Cairo in 1946, but it was thought preferable to entrust the work of the CITEJA to a new inter- national body created within ICAO. In May 1947, at Montreal, the CITEJA held its last session and the ICAO Assembly First Session instituted a Legal Committee, with broader powers than those of the CITEJA, which was charged among other things, with resuming the work of the international codification of private air law. The same session of the Assembly likewise adopted a procedure for the approval of draft conventions. The Constitution of the Legal Committee was annexed to Resolution A1-46 and the procedure for the approval of draft conventions is the subject of Resolution AT-48. The Constitution of the Legal Committee and the procedure for the approval of draft conventions adopted in 1947 were revised at the Seventh Session of the Assembly, held at Brighton from 15 June to 6 July 1953. The new Constitution appears in Resolution A7-5 and the new procedure for the approval of draft conventions appears in Resolution A7-6. Since its institution in 1947, the Legal Committee has prepared drafts which led to the adoption of the following instruments Convention on the International Recognition of Rights in Aircraft, signed at Geneva on 19 June 1948 Convention on Damage Caused by Foreign Aircraft to Third Parties on the Surface, signed at Rome on 7 October 1952 Protocol to Amend the Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules Relating to International Carriage by Air Signed at Warsaw on 12 October 1929, done at The Hzr.re on 28 September 1955 Convention, Supplementary to the Warsaw Convention, for the Vnifi- cation of Certain Rules Relating to International Carriage by Air Performed by a Person Other than the Contracting Carrier, signed at Guadalajara on 18 September 1961 Convention on Offences and Certain Other Acts Committed on Board Aircraft, signed at Tokyo on 14 September 1963 ii
