  • Antonov Blacklist
    COVERSTORY Hundreds of the aircraft have been targeted for grounding until their airworthiness is assured. BY MARK LACAGNINA n an unprecedented action, a list of Antonov aircraft that apparently are being operated in violation of requirements for continued airworthiness has been published by the In- Iternational Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). “The primary purpose for publishing the list is to share this important safety information,” said Paul Lamy, chief of ICAO’s Flight Safety Section. “The action is very much in line with the organization’s general policy of transparency and sharing of information, which was rein- lacklist forced by the conference of directors general of civil aviation that was held in March 2006.” The conference, convened in Montreal B to forge a “global strategy for aviation safety,” included a presentation by Ukraine, home of the Antonov Aviation Scientific/Technical Complex (ASTC), about insufficient communication between countries in which aircraft are regis- tered and countries in which they were designed and/or manufactured. The presentation provided the following ex- ample: In 2004 and 2005, Ukraine’s State Aviation Administration (SAA) sent information to several African civil aviation authorities (CAAs), request- Lake© Steve ing that they take action on aircraft that had been identified as unairworthy. The presentation said that because of an “insufficient level of coopera- improve an effective control on continuing tion” and communication, the SAA does not know airworthiness.”1 if the requested action was taken. Moreover, the presentation said that an analysis of 10 fatal An- Biplanes Top List tonov aircraft accidents in Africa in 2005 indicated In August 2006, Antonov gave the SAA a list of that eight of the aircraft were not airworthy.

  • Democratic Republic of Congo: Arming the East 1
    Democratic Republic of Congo: arming the east 1. Introduction Weapons and munitions have continued to flow into the Great Lakes Region and to those forces known to flagrantly abuse human rights in the eastern DRC despite the peace agreements in 2002 between warring groups of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and between the governments of Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Rwanda and Uganda.(1) The UN Security Council imposed a mandatory arms embargo on the provinces of North and South Kivu and the Ituri region of the eastern DRC, and also on groups not party to the peace agreement in the DRC, on 28 July 2003. This embargo was considerably strengthened and applied to the whole of the DRC, with certain exceptions, on 18 April 2005. Yet, before and after the imposition of the UN embargo, reports of arms and related deliveries continued. International arms flows into the region have corresponded to the clandestine supply of military aid by powerful forces in the DRC, Rwanda, and Uganda to their competing client armed groups and militia in eastern DRC who practise banditry and show little or no respect for human rights. Although fighting has subsided since the peace agreements, there have been regular clashes in which civilians have been brutally targeted. The military situation remains tense and civilians still live in fear and continue to be frequently exposed to large-scale human rights abuses. The current shortcomings in the demobilisation process, the easy availability of small arms, and the recent arming of "self defence" militia have also lead to a rapid rise in armed banditry.
