Part 3/9:
The organization confirmed that it maintains staff presence in Venezuela, although no additional information has been shared regarding the latest developments. Venezuela recently filed a formal complaint with ICAO concerning the airspace closures. The UN clarified that it has not yet seen the complaint and is seeking to determine whether it has been formally copied to the UN Secretary-General or relevant UN bodies.
Since ICAO operates as an independent specialized agency, any official communications related to these issues are managed through its internal processes. The UN emphasized that ICAO handles matters pertaining to aircraft safety and international aviation law, and thus, the proceedings are administered within its jurisdiction.
