Aviation Security
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.
