Nat'l Civil Aviation security program will be amended

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ The program serves as the fundamental document that demonstrates the observance of Mongolia’s duties before the “Safeguarding International Civil Aviation against Acts of Unlawful Interference”, an appendix of the Convention on International Civil Aviation, also known as the Chicago Convention. The Cabinet of Ministers resolved on Monday to reflect new terms, conceptions and criteria to the National Civil Aviation Security Program, taking into account the recent changes in the Chicago Convention. The Convention adopted new terms and criteria, considering the recently intensified operations of terrorist groups, and an increased number of their unlawful actions against civil aircrafts. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), therefore, has been modifying the Convention in harmony with the contemporary international security standards, and appealed its member-countries to make same changes to their national programs. The amendments to the National program will not change its main principles.
