193390592Paris: Commission Internationale de Navigation Aeriennne 1933. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Pamphlet. Good. The format is approximately 5 inches by 8 inches. TEXT IS IN FRENCH. 2 28 28 blank verso pages. Tabular Data. RARE SURVIVING COPY. The International Commission for Air Navigation ICAN was an international organization established by the Paris Convention of October 1919 which was the precursor to the current International Civil Aviation Organization ICAO . Its role was to establish international standards for managing air navigation. ICAN was truly active from 1922 to 1939 but ceased in 1947 when it was replaced by ICAO. In March 1919 an Aeronautics Commission of the Peace Conference was established at the initiative of President Clemenceau who rallied his allies and partners to his cause: President Wilson Alfred Milner United Kingdom and Vittorio Emanuele Orlando Italy. In less than four months the Commission and its military technical and legal subcommittees drafted the Convention regulating air navigation which was signed in Paris on October 13 1919 and which forms part of the treaties protocols and conventions of the Paris Peace Congress. The International Commission on Air Navigation was established by Article 34 of the Paris Convention. The convention entered into force on July 11 1922. It had been signed by fourteen states. At the first session held in Paris under the chairmanship of Raymond Poincaré he specified the role that the Commission was to play in the future and emphasized its innovative nature in the field of international law as it gave the Commission the power to make decisions binding on the contracting states by majority vote. Among the topics of this set of Aeronautical Instructions are Aerodromes Meterorological services phrases flight plans frontiers/boundaries Transportation and hazards to aviation. It addresses treaty/conventions and relevant Belgian legislation. Commission Internationale de Navigation Aeriennne unknown
