WHEREAS the future development of international civil aviation can greatly help to create and preserve friendship and understanding among the nations and peoples of the world, yet its abuse can become a threat to the general security and WHEREAS it is desirable to avoid friction and to promote that cooperation between nations and peoples upon which the peace of the world depends THEREFORE, the undersigned governments having agreed on certain principles and arrangements in order that international civil aviation may be developed in a safe and orderly manner and that international air transport services may be established on the basis of equality of opportunity and operated soundly and economically Have accordingly concluded this Convention to that end. Preamble to the Convention on International Civil Aviation Signed at Chicago, on 7 December 1944

The Assembly also endorsed ICAOs approach to runway safety enhancement. The majority of fatal accidents occur during the take-off and landing phases of flight, often in the runway environment. ICAO has adopted a multidisciplinary approach to runway safety issues with the aim of significantly reducing the number of events. This effort brings together representatives from airlines, airports, air navigation service providers and regulatory authorities. Where security is concerned, the Declaration on Aviation Security adopted unanimously by the Assembly constitutes a very strong commitment by States to strengthen aviation security worldwide, principally by enhancing international cooperation. Not simply a statement of political will, the Declaration defines key activities to be undertaken by States in order to address the evolving threat in a proactive and collective manner. The Assembly also endorsed a new aviation security strategy for the coming years and stressed the importance of its implementation. This comprehensive strategy allows the Organization to allocate resources more efficiently to critical objectives. Aside from advancing the policy and regulatory framework, it entails a continuation of ICAO security audits while focusing more intently on addressing shortcomings through assistance to States, notably by capacity-building efforts. There was also support for a proposal to collaborate with industry in developing a next-generation screening system the so-called checkpoint of the future. The focus on improving screening processes underscores the importance of striking a balance between the effectiveness of security measures and the need to ensure an efficient flow of passengers through the necessary security procedures. On the environmental front, the triennium preceding the 37th Session of the Assembly was especially important in terms of international aviation and climate change, with ICAO adopting a Programme of Action that meant, in essence, that international aviation had become the first sector to agree on a global goal for CO2 emissions. As we went into the Assembly, other remarkable achievements included agreement on a global framework for development and deployment of sustainable alternative fuels for aviation as well as an agreement on the deadline of 2013 for the development of a CO2 standard for aircraft. At the Assembly, States fully endorsed ICAOs proactive achievements in the field of international aviation and climate change, including the adoption of global aspirational goals of 2 per cent annual fuel efficiency improvement and, in the medium-term, stabilization of CO2 emissions. There was also agreement on the guiding principles for the design and implementation of market-based measures for international aviation, and a process for developing a related framework. States willingness to voluntarily submit action plans to ICAO will lead to a dynamic shift in the role of the Organization, with a new focus on implementation rather than standard policy setting. Despite admittedly difficult discussions on the environment, the Assembly adopted a resolution confirming ICAOs leadership role. It reaffirmed that the climate change issue, as it applies to international aviation, must be managed and resolved through ICAO. The Assembly also strove to improve the overall efficiency of the global air transport system. ICAOs future work on promoting air transport liberalization was endorsed, as well as a plan to guide States on investing in aviation infrastructure development over the next decade. Moreover, on the eve of the Assembly, international cooperation was strengthened with the signing of several Memoranda of Cooperation with regional organizations and regional civil aviation bodies. The agreements underscore ICAOs role as a global forum for cooperation among States and all aviation partners. As we move forward, global cooperation remains the key to meeting all of our challenges, as it has since 1944. Roberto Kobeh Gonzlez President of the Council
