Objective
|
Build capacity of Member State to
comply with the standards and recommended practices set out in the
Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation, its annexes
(particularly Annex 17), and other International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO) recommendations, with respect to safeguarding
international civil aviation and its facilities against acts of
unlawful interference. |
|
Description
|
This program is implemented
through two projects: 1) national training on security-related
aviation procedures and improvements to help meet ICAO
standards, provided in-country by a variety of international
experts for officials at operational, supervisory, and
management levels of security, immigrations, and customs; and 2)
scholarships to attend training courses implemented by ICAO in
other countries. Strengthening the security of international
airports is a critical element in controlling borders, in
accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 1373 and
international civil aviation conventions, and in creating or
restoring passenger confidence in commercial air transport.
