Vision
To enable developing countries to attain, in the field of civil aviation, a standard comparable to that of the developed countries.
The Priorities for CDI
Our priorities are to improve the operational safety, security, efficiency and regularity of national and international civil aviation and to contribute to the global and uniform implementation of ICAO's Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs). The Technical Co-operation Bureau understands the hopes and problems of the developing world and from experience knows how to realize those hopes and overcome those problems.
Ethics
As a United Nations specialised agency, ICAO strives to maintain the highest standards of ethics in the execution of its mandate. ICAO staff members are expected to conduct themselves at all times in a manner befitting their status as international civil servants. In this regard, ICAO has adopted the United Nations Standards of Conduct for the International Civil Service as its reference standard.
Staff members are expected to exercise the utmost discretion in regard to all matters of official business. They may not communicate to any person any information known to them by reason of their official position which has not been made public, except in the course of their duties or by authorization of the Secretary General. Nor may they at any time use such information to private advantage. These obligations do not cease upon separation from service.
