    SUBJECT: ICAO COUNCIL CAUTIONS DPRK ON CIVAIR SAFETY AND SECURITY,
    MARCH 9, 2009

    REF: SEOUL 357 (NOTAL)

    ¶1.  (SBU) Summary.   On March 9, 2009 the International Civil
    Aviation Organization (ICAO) Council, which is the governing
    body constituted of 36 representatives of ICAO Contracting
    States from all regions of the world, discussed the DPRK
    announcement that North Korea cannot guarantee the safety of
    South Korean flights transiting No Korean - controlled airspace
    and other DPRK actions that pose a threat to global aviation
    security.  The ROKG's newly arrived Council Representative,
    Ambassador Chong Hoon KIM raised several points with the Council
    and the Council President at the 9 March 2009 Council meeting,
    noting  that the authorities of the DPRK, the Committee for the
    Peaceful Reunification of Korea, had declared that quote safety
    could not be guaranteed for the Republic of Korea's civilian
    airplanes flying through the airspace of the DPRK and its
    vicinity - end DPRK quote.   Ambassador Kim said this
    announcement constitutes an unacceptable threat to the safety
    and security of international civil aviation. He added that the
    Republic of Korea expresses its deep concern on the DPRK's
    announcement and requests the DPRK to withdraw the declaration.
    Kim said the DPRK, as a Contracting State of ICAO, should act
    strictly in accordance with the Chicago Convention, its Annexes
    and its procedures.  Ambassador Kim noted that DPRK actions
    violate the terms of a Memo of Understanding signed between the
    two Koreas and the President of ICAO Council in October 1997
    which permits the use by any State of air routes between
    DPRK-controlled airspace and ROKG-controlled airspace.  That MOU
    had enabled 5260 flights to pass through DPRK's territorial
    airspace last year and in period January-February 2009, 1020
    flights have used the airspace, of which 463 were flights from
    the ROKG and 557 from other States. The DPRK's recent actions
    had obliged carriers from many ICAO Contracting States to
    re-route flights.  Finally, as these events have caused serious
    concern for the international aviation community, the Republic
    of Korea requested  the ICAO Council to direct the President of
    Council to convey the grave concern of the Council to the DPRK.
     The US, Japan, and 26 other Council members all spoke in
    support of the ROKG request.    Discussion was held in open
    Council session.  The Council took a Decision relating to North
    Korea and calling upon the DPRK to meet its commitment to the
    safety and security of civil aircraft and other principles of
    the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).   End
    summary.

    ¶2.   (SBU) The Acting US Rep stated in Council that:  The U.S.
    agrees that the DPRK announcement that North Korea cannot
    guarantee the safety of South Korean flights transiting North
    Korean-controlled airspace constitutes a clear threat to the
    safety and security of international civil aviation and global
    commerce.

    --The DPRK actions are posing risk to the commercial carriers of
    numerous States, many of which have been forced to re-route
    flights.

    --The DPRK statements have generated serious concern in the
    international civil aviation community and call into question
    North Korea's commitment to the safety and security of civil
    aircraft and other principles of the International Civil
    Aviation Organization.

    ¶3.  (SBU)  Other Council members expressed support for the ROKG
    statement and for Ambassador Kim's request the Council
    President, Roberto Kobeh, to convey the grave concern of the
    ICAO Council as soon as possible to senior officials of the
    ROKG.  The 28 States supporting ROKG were US, Japan, Australia,

    MONTREAL 00000080  002 OF 002

    Cameroon, Ecuador, Canada, Dominican Republic, Argentina,
    Singapore, UAE, Saudi Arabia, UK, France, Germany, Italy,
    Uganda, Russia, China, Namibia, Ghana, Mexico, Brazil, Malaysia,
    Nigeria, El Salvador, Iceland, Switzerland and Egypt.  Due to
    the lateness of the day  (the Korea topic was the last item of
    session),  President Kobeh cut off debate.   Only Egypt made a
    nuanced  statement of support by noting with emphasis that it is
    an obligation of ALL, repeat all,  ICAO Contracting States to
    respect the obligations of the Chicago Convention (ICAO's
    founding treaty).  Egypt's nuanced comment  is effectively an
    unspoken reference to Israel.  There were no Council members who
    spoke differently or expressed any reservations to the strong
    consensus of the ICAO Council.

    ¶4.  (SBU) The text of the Council decision (to be formalized in
    all six ICAO languages in a few days) will be available as soon
    as President Kobeh circulates a draft decision. Kobeh  will
    refine the DRAFT overnight.  The Council Decision will be drawn
    from the comments of Ambassador Kim, the Acting U.S.
    Representative and the Japan Representative. USICAO will
    distribute the Council decision as soon as it is received.
    President Kobeh, assisted by  the ICAO staff from the air
    navigation and legal bureaus, is also completing the drafting of
    correspondence to the DPRK.   (The ICAO Council President's
    correspondence is not disseminated to Council members. )

    ¶5.    (SBU) On Friday, March 5,  ICAO Council  President Kobeh
    and ICAO's Legal Director,  together with Acting US Rep  and
    the Japan Rep, had advised and assisted the  new Korean
    Ambassador  with the drafting of statements and the Council
    Decision and the lobbying of other Council members to support
    the ROKG.

    ¶6.   Comments and feedback to US Mission to ICAO should be
    addressed to  AmConsul Montreal with a slug to pass USICAO.  We
    encourage messages be sent at SBU level to the extent possible-
    because classified material is not accessible in the ICAO
    building where US Mission is located.
