Nowadays ICAO is one of the largest and most successful agencies of the United Nations and includes 185 Contracting States. In the years of its existence ICAO has made an outstanding contribution to the development of international civil aviation. It has developed a lot of annexes to the Chicago Convention dealing with a variety of disciplines. The standards contained in these annexes are applied universally. ICAO paid attention to serious aspects of civil aviation, such as aircraft noise, aircraft engine emission and a need to ensure passenger and aircraft security. Under ICAO's global leadership engine noise levels and aircraft engine emission were greatly reduced. ICAO has been developing international air transport standards and serves as the medium for cooperation in all fields of civil aviation. It has seven regional offices in the world -in Bangkok, Cairo, Dakar, Lima, Mexico City, Nairobi and Paris.
