This book is
both a repertory guide to the Convention on International Civil Aviation
(Chicago Convention) as well as a legal analysis of the provisions of the
treaty. It traces action taken by the ICAO Assembly and the Council in the
implementation of the Convention from the first ICAO Assembly in 1947 until
2012. Above all, the book offers a commentary on the functional and moral
fabric of the Chicago Convention, which is not only a multilateral legal
instrument that sets out basic principles of air navigation and air transport,
but also serves as a moral compass that brings the people of the world
together.
The teleological nature of the Chicago Convention is
reflected from the outset – from its Preamble which sets the tone and
philosophy of the Convention – that aviation builds friendship and
understanding among all people, to its technical provisions that range from
rules of the air to landing at airports and customs and immigration
procedures. The book effectively demonstrates the Aristotelian principle
– that rules make people good by forming habits in them. Standardization,
or in other words, compliance, is the driver of the Convention that keeps
aviation safe, regular, efficient and economical. To that end, this book
traces and details the sustained relevance of the Chicago
Convention and the efforts of ICAO and the international aviation
community towards keeping air transport on track and ready for its future
exponential growth, both in letter and in spirit.
