Kazakhstan may join ICAO governing bodies The Senate of Kazakhstan approved a law on ratification of protocols to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, which introduces changes to the structure of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The point at issue is the protocols, adopted on October 6, 2016 at the 39th ICAO Assembly. They provide for reforms in the organization’s governing bodies. Specifically, the ICAO Council will be expanded from 36 to 40 member states for more balanced and geographically representative participation. The Air Navigation Commission will also be enlarged from 19 to 21 members to strengthen technical expertise and improve the effectiveness of ICAO’s regulatory work. Ratification of the protocols will help Kazakhstan expand opportunities to play a more active role in shaping international aviation policy and create the conditions for potentially advancing Kazakhstan’s candidacy to ICAO’s governing bodies. Kazakhstan joined ICAO in 1992 and participates regularly in its activities. In 2024, the President decreed to establish a Permanent Mission to ICAO. Last year, the country also signed a General Plan for Civil Aviation Development until 2050, so Kazakhstan became the first in the region to adopt such a framework in cooperation with ICAO. Earlier reports noted that Kazakhstan has achieved 95.7% compliance with ICAO aviation safety standards.
