ECAC Legal Task Force reviews outcomes of the 39th ICAO Legal Committee

Videoconference, 30 September 2024 — The outcomes from the 39th ICAO Legal Committee, held in Montreal from 25 to 28 June 2024, were the focus of discussions at the 51st meeting of the ECAC Legal Task Force (LEGTF) at the end of September.


The reprioritised ICAO legal work programme was presented during the meeting, alongside updates on the election of chairs to the Legal Committee. One of the key topics during the ICAO Legal Committee meeting was the review of the ICAO Rules for the Settlement of Differences, and the task force members considered recent procedural updates and ongoing discussions on this matter.

On the topic of information sharing, the newly established LEGTF legal database is now operational. It will function as a tool for experience-based cooperation on legal matters to help the Legal Task Force members solve complex national legal issues in an efficient manner.

The meeting also featured updates on developments for the programme of the next Civil Aviation Legal Advisors Forum (CALAF3), which will take place in London from 26 to 28 November 2024.
