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. "
