International Civil
Aviation Day7 December 2001
|
| In 1996, the General Assembly proclaimed 7
December as International Civil Aviation Day, and urged governments, as well as national,
regional, international and intergovernmental organizations, to take appropriate steps to
observe it (resolution 51/33 of 6 December). The Day had been declared in 1992 by the
Assembly of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), a United Nations
specialized agency, to highlight and advance the benefits of international civil aviation.
Observation of the Day started on 7 December 1994 -- the fiftieth anniversary of the
signing of the Convention on International Civil Aviation, which established ICAO. |
