Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation

The Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation, established in 1944, is a key international treaty that promotes safe and orderly air travel worldwide. It outlines principles for civil aviation, including the rights of countries over their airspace and the responsibilities of nations to ensure aviation safety and efficiency. The convention led to the creation of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), which sets global standards and regulations for aviation operations. Overall, it aims to foster cooperation among countries to enhance the safety, security, and sustainability of air travel.
