  3. “As we begin to write a new chapter in the fundamental law of the air, let us all remember that we are engaged ina great attempt to build enduring institutions of peace. These peace settlements cannot be endangered by petty considerations or weakened by groundless fears. Rather, with full recognition of the sovereignty and judicial equality of all nations, let us work together so that the air may be used by humanity, to serve humanity” President Roosevelt to the opening plenary session

Chicago Convention • Two pillars of aviation development • Article 28-Air Navigation Facilities and Services • States to provide facilities and services to facilitate international aviation in accordance with the Convention • Article 37-Adoption of International Standards and Procedures • Requirements to collaborate in securing the highest practicable degree of uniformity in regulations, standards, procedures and organization
