OF THE
I have the honour to transmit, at the direction of the Council, its Report for
the year I9 72, prepared in compliance with Article 54 (a) of the Convention
on International Civil Aviation. It constitutes documentation for the next
ordinary Session of the Assembly, which will be convened in 1974, but it is
being circukzted to Contracting States now for their information. It will also
be sent to the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations in
pursuance of Article VI, paragraph 2 (a) of the Agreement between the
United Nations and ICAO.
The Report was prepared by the Secretariat and circulated in draft form
to the Representatives of Council Member States for their suggestions. The
Council, as a body, did not formally examine or adopt it but, as in the past,
delegated to its President authority to approve the final text after
considering all the suggestions received.
As in previous years, Chapter I is a description of significant develop-
ments in civil aviation during the year; the activities of ICAO itself are
described in Chapters II to VIII.
The Council held three sessions in 19 72. These were the Seventy-fifth
Session from 24 January to 30 March with a total of fourteen meetings, one
of which was held outside the Council phase; the Seventy-sixth Session from
28 April to 30 June, with a total of seventeen meetings, one of which
was held outside the Council phase; and the Seventy-seventh Session
from 18 September to 15 December, with a total of twenty-two
meetings, three of which were held outside the Council phase. Authority
was delegated to the President to act on a number of matters, as
necessary, when the Council was not in session.

President of the Council
