Upon Signing of the Convention on International Civil Aviation in 1944 (commonly known as the Chicago Convention), a UN specialized agency was formed known as International Civil Aviation Organization. ICAO works with the Convention’s 191 Signatory States and global industry and aviation organizations to develop international Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) which are then used by States to develop legally-binding national civil aviation regulations. Currently there are 19 Annexes to the Chicago Convention. Out of these 19 Annexes following are wholly or partially related to Airworthiness of the Aircraft. The Annexes are:
