Declarations of Policy Sample Clauses

Declarations of Policy. International treaty regimes uniformly contain declarations of policy related to the subjects they cover. The Preamble of the Chicago Convention declares, for example, that it was adopted “in order that international civil aviation may be developed in a safe and orderly manner and that international air transport services may be established on the basis of equality of opportunity and operated soundly and economically.” The Constitution of the ITU (Art. 1) includes among its purposes to “maintain and extend international cooperation between all Members of the Union for the improvement and rational use of telecommunications of all kinds,” “to promote and to offer technical assistance to developing countries in the field of telecommunications,” “to promote the development of technical facilities and their most efficient operation,” and “to promote the use of telecommunication services with the objective of facilitating peaceful relations.” In some areas of transnational activity, states issue such declarations without adopting significant, additional measures. Analogous declarations of policy could readily be crafted to express the purposes of an international cyber-security regime. A paper prepared for the NRC by Xxxxx Xxxxxxx describes some types of declarations that could be issued.52 Declarations of policy by a sufficiently widespread and influential group of states that confirm cyber security as a universal objective, and that describe appropriate norms of conduct to facilitate achieving that objective, could be useful in creating a more responsible, security-oriented environment than cur- rently exists. Such declarations are commonly issued at the end of conferences, for example, with no expectation they will be treated as enforceable agreements. Alternatively, declarations could be issued that call for specific actions, or that establish specific arrangements or obligations; in the U.S., such agreements might have to be conveyed by the president to the Congress or ratified by the Senate.
