Convention on International Civil Aviation signed on the 7th of December, 1944. Its
headquarters are located in Montreal. ICAO stands for International Civil Aviation
Organization The constitution of the ICAO is the Convention on International Civil Aviation,
established by the conference in Chicago in November and December 1944, and in which each
ICAO Contracting State is an organization. This Convention is also known as the Chicago
Convention. In October 1947, the ICAO became a newly established United Nations
institution. The Chicago Convention sets out the purpose of the ICAO. As an interim, an
international aviation intermediate agreement was adopted. This gave birth to the Provisional

1947. ICAO as it is known today was born after the 26th state ratified the Chicago Convention.

and Social Council of the U.N. Today, ICAO consists of 190 signatory states, of which only
three are not members.
