It was announced from Montreal on 3 February that Member States of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) confirmed their support for the Organization’s comprehensive conflict zone risk mitigation work programme, including a proposal to develop a prototype online resource for global conflict zone risk information.

More than 850 government and industry participants at ICAO’s High Level Safety Conference confirmed their strong backing for the UN aviation agency’s conflict zone objectives in recommendations that will now be guided by the 36-State ICAO Council.
