registration and safety, and details the rights of the signatories in relation to air
travel. The Convention also exempts air fuels in transit from (double) taxation.
The document was signed on December 7, 1944, in Chicago by 52 signatory
states. It received the requisite 26th ratification on March 5, 1947 and went into
effect on April 4, 1947, the same date that ICAO came into being. In October of
the same year, ICAO became a specialized agency of the United Nations
Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). The Convention has since been revised
eight times (in 1959, 1963, 1969, 1975, 1980, 1997, 2000 and 2006).
As of March 2019, the Chicago Convention had 193 state parties, which includes
