of the agendaof
the sevent.o session, uno.er whi c h i,e unde r etanr; the Cot.mi.asi.on will consider a.ir transport. ICAO Hill take part in consic'c.erc,:~ionof this item in Comrrit tee I, and aubeequentLj in plenary session if desirable. However, some general C01.•uent s designed. to i:L1form delebi:itions of the general r5le of ICAO and of tile scope of its acti vit i e s , t:ay be of use if pr-eseht ed at any early stabe in the session.reAO'S field of COl;'l:.etence is established cy the Convention on International Civil avi~tion of 1944, and covers aman£ other thinbs the entire field of air tr~ns~ort. The relationship abree~eut between the Uni,ted. Nations and lCJ~O, 1Ilhich d.a't e s f'r-oi.,
1947,
establishes obligations and procedure$ for co-opor~tion on the basis of mutual rec06nition offields of competence. IC.iO has therefore an interest in everything concerning air transport and a duty to fulfil in rGspect of any pl'oposal for international action; and it has a well est~blishedrelationship with the United Nations
\'lhioh enables two interests - one g-snera.l eccnor.d c development, and the other the development of air tr~n:;port - to be broubht tobether.
