It is noted that the mission of ICAO is to draft the rules governing civil aviation, but the organization has no authority to impose sanctions. In the event of a proven breach of international regulations, its role is to provide assistance to countries that wish to discuss, condemn, and impose sanctions under the Chicago Convention.
