International Civil Aviation Day
- International Civil Aviation Day
In 1996 the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed that 7 December was to be the International Civil Aviation Day[UN document |docid=A-RES-51-33 |type=Resolution |body=General Assembly |session=51 |resolution_number=33 |accessdate=2008-07-09|title=Proclamation of 7 December as International Civil Aviation Day|date=6 December 1996] ]The year had been celebrated by the International Civil Aviation Organization since 7 December 1994, the 50th anniversary of the signing the Convention on International Civil Aviation.
Following the adoption of the resolution, the delegate from the United Kingdom stated the view that the decision for holding of an International Civil Aviation Day did not fall within these guidelines, and that the scarce resources of the United Nations should not be used to support interpretation, printing and other associated costs that will be incurred as a result.
