The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), a

UN specialized agency, is the global forum for civil
aviation. The organization was established in 1944.

ICAO works to achieve its vision of safe, secure, and

sustainable development of civil aviation through
cooperation of its member states. To implement this

vision, the organization has established six strategic

objectives for the period 2005 to 2010: (1) enhance
global civil aviation safety, (2) enhance global civil

aviation security, (3) minimize the adverse effect of

global civil aviation on the environment, (4) enhance
the efficiency of aviation operations, (5) maintain the

continuity of aviation operations, and (6) strengthen law

governing international civil aviation. Visit the ICAO
