ICAO chief urges UN to better promote Global Aviation Security Plan
THE United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is being urged to promote greater international awareness and adoption of its new Global Aviation Security Plan (GASeP). The call was made by ICAO secretary general Dr Fang Liu at the UN headquarters in New York.
The core goals of the GASeP are to enhance risk awareness and response, establish a better-defined security culture, refine related technologies, foster innovations, and improve oversight and quality assurance while increasing cooperation among member states and organisations. The GASeP is expected to be approved by the ICAO Council at its next session in November, reported London's Air Cargo News.
But Dr Liu said: "It will only be by virtue of sustained political will, especially at the highest levels of government and industry, that the GASeP will succeed."
Financial support was another area where UN entities can assist ICAO, she added: "To meet the security targets identified in the GASeP, and its associated regional roadmaps, capacity development and technology assistance programmes must expand significantly." she said.
