Gambia
has recently hosted a two-day legal seminar organised by the International
Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and Gambia Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA)
intended to inform and update government officials on the work programme ICAO
in the legal field and a number of current subjects in the field of
international air law.
The
seminar addresses topics relating to aviation safety oversight, aviation
security, air transport liberalisation, ratification of international air law
instruments and emerging issues in aviation law and practice.
Ebrima
Bojang, chairman of GCAA board of directors said international law plays an
important role in global civil aviation and challenged delegates to critically
focus on the issues discussed during the seminar.
Momodou
Ceesay, permanent secretary at the ministry of transportation works and
infrastructure said the Gambia Government will continue to operate with
international standard and aviation practices.
“Despite
that GCAA will continue to take the lead to ensure that we meet the
international obligation and the existing convention regulations.”
Benoit
Verhaegen, senior external relations and legal officer of ICAO said the two
days seminar is an additional step to dedicate the solutions of legal advice
for civil aviation organisations.
Cherno
Marenah, permanent secretary at the ministry of justice said the international
civil aviation is so dynamic and the Gambia will stand to support it.
