The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations (UN) that sets global standards for aviation safety, security, and efficiency. ICAO was established in 1944 and is headquartered in Montreal, Canada.

ICAO's main objectives are:

  1. To establish principles and recommended practices for the safety, security, and efficiency of international air transport.
  2. To promote the development of civil aviation in its member states.
  3. To provide a forum for the discussion and resolution of international aviation issues.

ICAO's key activities include:

  1. Developing and maintaining international standards and recommended practices (SARPs) for aviation safety, security, and efficiency.
  2. Providing guidance and support to its member states to help them implement ICAO's SARPs.
  3. Conducting audits and assessments of its member states' aviation systems to ensure compliance with ICAO's SARPs.
  4. Providing training and capacity-building programs for aviation professionals.
  5. Facilitating the development of international aviation agreements and treaties.

ICAO has 193 member states and is governed by a Council, which is composed of 36 member states elected by the Assembly for a three-year term. The Council is responsible for setting ICAO's policies and priorities.

ICAO's work has a significant impact on the global aviation industry, as it helps to ensure the safety and security of air travel, promotes the development of civil aviation, and facilitates the efficient movement of people and goods by air.
