International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and Its Aviation Security Program

A review is undertaken of International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) activities in response to unlawful interference, including a historical background and trends in the types of activities that terrorists have taken against civil aviation. ICAO, as a result of a meeting of the Ministers of Transportation from around the world meeting as Council Representatives on 16 Feb. 1989, set the pattern for future activities. This presentation will outline the new ICAO organization to address security matters in civil aviation.
