Statute overview

About this statute

This article creates ASECNA, gives it corporate status and financial autonomy, and says its headquarters are in Dakar unless moved by the Committee of Ministers. ASECNA must provide air navigation, meteorological, and related airport services, while States Parties must help secure certain infrastructure; Agency premises are generally inviolable. The Committee of Ministers is the Agency’s supreme organ and must set policy, oversee implementation, and decide on key governance matters. The Committee of Ministers meets once a year, may meet extra sessions when called by the Chairperson or one-third of States Parties, and must adopt its internal rules. The Agency must follow applicable supervision, certification, and inspection rules, and there are rules on archives and state property. The text says an absent Committee of Ministers member may be replaced, gives the Agency immunity from execution, sets rules for withdrawal of a member State, and requires the Agency to provide meteorology information to designated services.
